I remember watching Jim King front the 5 & 11 PM shows (by this point, Walter Cryan was only doing the 6 PM show, eventually he retired for the 1st time and Jim became the main anchor and did the 6 & 11 PM shows). Jim looked very stiff behind the anchor chair This was before WPRI was dropped from my cable lineup b/c of a non-duplication rule (likely because WBZ invoked this rule)
