Candlepin Bowling Returns To Boston Over the Air TV March 4th

No one outside New England and the Maritimes even knows what candlepin
bowling is, so if genuinely local TV is what you're looking for, by golly,
this is it.  I grew up with Don Gillis' weekly show.  I think the return of
televised candlepin is great news. I wish we could get it here in Maine.

I'll know that Boston TV has REALLY gone retro when "Starring the Editors"
and "Community Auditions" make their return.
