Funny how lives were changed during the NBC/Westinghouse 'swap' of stations in Philly and Cleveland.
Rex Trailer who was a children's show host at WPTZ was told he could finish his contract in Cleveland or Boston - and chose Boston.
(Philly footage included)

A decade later Mike Douglas in Cleveland was told to choose between Philadelphia and Boston. He chose Philadelphia but later said he wish he had picked Boston.
Rex is still alive.
