Art actually used to be a radio singer on WBZ in the 1940s, before 
ending up doing news.  I can check my files for the exact years, as 
well as for when he worked on channel 4-- which was very common back 
then.  Almost all the WBZ radio folks (including Carl DeSuze) did a 
radio show and also a TV show at one time or other during WBZ-TV's 
formative years.
