Movie – “The
Cowboy and the Blonde”
|
|
TV
Note that although an ABC affiliate, the old WHDH-Channel 5 didn't air ABC's own network newscast with John Charles Daly.
ReplyDeleteInstead, it aired NBC's "Huntley/Brinkley Report" and Douglas Edwards' "CBS Evening News", with a fifteen minute local newscast sandwiched in-between.
By 1960, WBZ Channel 4 finally picked-up "Huntley/Brinkley", but WHDH kept running the "CBS Evening News" until 1972. It should be noted that from 1961 to 1972, they were the CBS affiliate.
Neither WBZ-Channel 4 in Boston nor WJAR Channel 10 in Providence carried Jack Paar's "Tonight Show" in 1958 (WBZ dropped "Tonight" in mid-1957 during the "America After Dark" fiasco and didn't pick-up the show again until 1966, after Johnny Carson had been host for four years; WJAR never carried the show until it picked it up in 1960), so it aired on other stations in those cities.
ReplyDeleteSalty Brine on WPRO was a great kids show. He featured the shipmates wheel where kids would send in their pictures and he would read off the names. My brother and I "appeared" one night and the next day everyone in the neighborhood talked about seeing us. Real celebrities!
ReplyDeleteSalty Brine also was a longtime radio morning DJ at WPRO-AM in Providence; the building that now houses WPRO Radio and a beach south of Providence along Narragansett Bay are both named in his memory.
ReplyDeleteBrine's son Wally is currently morning co-host on WROR-FM in the Boston area.
Record Shop Hop afternoons on channel 4 was hosted by long time radio talent Dave Maynard
