  I thought Bob Copeland was with WCVB on day one. I think Bob Ryan is still 
working in DC. I also recall another early WCVB meterologist, Bill Hovey. 
Was he handling the morning weather and replaced when Copeland came over to 
'CVB?

  The article in the Globe stated that "Candlepins" ran on Channel 7 from 
1973 to 1980. I know that WCVB had Perry Mason in the 5PM slot for a while, 
then later in the 70's they picked up the syndicated reruns of the early 
seasons of "All In The Family" which ran at 5:30. I don't recall what they 
ran at 5:00 before "Family". IIRC "Candlepins" still won the timeslot. In my 
house, since my dad was a big Archie Bunker fan, and my mom was a 
"Candlepins" fan, that led to our becoming a 2 television house. A small 
black & white TV was purchased and placed on the kitchen counter, which is 
what we watched Channel 7 at 5:30 on.
