Let's not forget Mr. Bonds' stint with WABC New York in 1975 (co-anchoring the 11 P.M. edition of Eyewitness News with Roger Grimsby during Bill Beutel's run with the short-lived AM America that year, then after Beutel returned to WABC Bonds remained at the 11 P.M. edition, co-anchoring with once-and-future Boston anchor Tom Ellis) which continued until fall 1976, after which he returned to WXYZ for the third time.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that WXYZ was the first of the ABC stations to have a movie skein called The 4:30 Movie, from the moment it moved to that time slot (from 6 P.M.) on May 20, 1968. It would be another eight months (approximately) before WABC first used that title - by which their movie show had been at 4:30 since Jan. 8, 1968.
 
Shouldn't the 3:25 PM newscast anchor on WTOL be
Douglas Edwards? He did a five-minute CBS newscast
between "To Tell The Truth" and "Edge Of Night" at
the time. Or was there a local anchor in Toledo named
Don Edwards?

I'm guessing the latter, but I don't know enough about Toledo TV to say one way or the other ???

I would say Don Edwards was local to Toledo, based on this 1970 ad..

Oddly enough, WJW-TV 8 in Cleveland also did the 3:25 news locally, rather than pick up the CBS feed.
 
Don Edwards came from WNEM-TV in Flint, MI to WTOL in 1962. He was a newsman at channel 11 for years but also worked at Toledo's WDHO-TV 24 later in his career.
