  I remember "Robin Hood" on WMUR in the early 70's. By the mid-70's they 
had replaced it with "The Lone Ranger", which was one of my father's 
favorite shows. They also had "Gilligan's Island", "Timmy & Lassie" and the 
first Lassie show, "Jeff's Collie" in the 4:00 & 5:30 slots over the years, 
with "Uncle Gus" always at 4:30. However, I do recall that ABC still had 
programming at 4:00 into the mid-70's at least that WMUR cleared, a game 
show "The Money Maze" hosted by Nick Clooney (George's dad, Nick was also a 
Cincinnati radio personality) and when that show was cancelled, it was 
replaced by "The Edge of Night". WCVB didn't clear "Money Maze", not sure 
about "Edge", but since WMUR was known for clearing virtually anything ABC 
fed, they probably didn't fill the 4:00 slot locally until ABC stopped 
offering a 4:00 show.
