The 'Rocketship 7' Host Formerly Known As Dave Thomas: Tor-Buff-Chester's original kiddie TV king to retire next month
Dave Roberts joined WPVI on May 15th, 1978. He was hired to serve as co-host of Channel 6's new morning talk show - AM Philadelphia. Additionally, Roberts was Action News' weather anchor for the noon newscast. He came to Philadelphia via his hometown station in Buffalo, New York - WKBW, where he was an overwhelmingly popular host of their children's variety program, Rocket Ship 7. Roberts, known as "Dave Thomas" during his Buffalo days, also co-hosted Dialing For Dollars, and did the noon weather with a new, young anchor named Jim Gardner.
