I remember that.  When Huntley-Brinkley was moved from 7:45 to 6:45, it conflicted with 
WBZ-TV's rather extensive local news programming.  It was carried, sans commercials, on 
channel 2 until WHDH-TV, Channel 5, came on.  WHDH-TV was an ABC affiliate, but it also 
picked up a number of NBC programs that WBZ-TV didn't clear.  That included the Jack 
Barry quiz show "Tic Tac Dough," and the game show "It Could Be You," which aired daily at 
noon and 12:30 PM.  WBZ-TV preferred to carry one of the first noontime TV newscasts, 
followed by Big Brother Bob Emery.
