According to that day's Boston Globe, WXPO-50 aired a half-hour newscast at 10 P.M. and did not list a ski program at 10:15.

I suspect that a fifteen-minute version of the newscast aired over WXPO on this evening at 10 P.M., followed by the ski program.

The ski show was hosted by Doug Wheeler who later worked at WSBK and NESN and the set was Captain Bob's old set from WHDH-TV.

The ski show was important as a ski area in Vermont actually paid WXPO cash which was badly needed then.

Captain Bob's set was destroyed when the studio was heavily damaged by flooding in early 1970.

...hmmm. Would this be a syndicated edit of Wholey's WKYC-TV/3 Cleveland show, or another program he did between the Cleveland gig and AM Detroit on WXYZ-TV/7?...

The Channel 50 version came from Cincinnati and it was terrible.

Wholey's syndicated show came from Cincinnati's WKRC-TV 12..He never worked in Cleveland or on WKYC-TV-3, nor did his show air in Cleveland at all..
