Like the way they (WNEV) used the "7" instead of the "V" in their logo (SE7EN=SEVEN).

You forgot in December 1994-January 1995 WHDH Boston swapped affiliates with WHDH becoming NBC and WBZ 4 became CBS.

I wish I thought to keep the old stuff I had when I had my old VCR. I had some old music videos and Spectrum Wrestling that I taped off of Prism..and the old Prism and HBO logos. Also some Miami Vice episodes..'Smuggler's Blues' and 'The Prodigal Son'.

A station can have share holders who seek to profit from its success, especially if they contribute to the station in some way. The best example of a Boston TV shareholder is former WCVB sports anchor Don Gillis, who had been with Channel 5 so long, that he wanted a piece of it. When 'CVB was sold to Metromedia for the largest sum ever put for a local US TV station, you surely bet Don rode on his share like a rocket out of the stratosphere. He profited beautifully and retired not long after.

OK, on the Boston dial, we never had TV stations for every channel assignment, especially not from 1-7 completely..the gaps were filled by other neighboring markets (for example, at the time of this on Boston VHS, we had 2, 4, 5 and 7, while RI had 6, 10, and 12, but not everyone in our area could pick up RI stations).

Punkghost was talking to VintageTelevision, the provider of this material.

Wow, if someone from germany would have seen that back then, they would have had the following questions:1. Why does a station have 'share holders'?2. Wow, 7-TV stations, how can you have that many stations. |
