Local Filmmakers To Create V-66 Documentary

[Kevin Vahey]

John and Arnie became multi-millionaires because of Channel 66. John
had the CP for WGTR-TV but had no idea what to do with it. Arnie
became his partner and was the one who said MTV-Boston.

Once Boston and Cambridge were wired for cable the time came for a
buyer and Home Shopping Club paid an outrageous amount for it.

John and Arnie's biggest obstacle was finding a transmitter location
and found it next to the Hudson town dump.

The Globe indicates that Arnie is stunned anyone would care and that
is exactly the way he was in 1970 when as a salesman for WRKO he
refused to believe anybody remembered him on WMEX. He perhaps is the
most modest talent I have ever met and also the smartest.
