Ah...the seeds of the Shawmut..ahem, the FleetCenter, ahem, Bank of America Center, ahem, the Derek Jeter Center, ahem TD Banknorth Garden, oops, TD Garden being sewn through corporate sponsorships. I lived off of Wood Ave back then...OK Corral-like atmosphere to say the least.
I have a tape with the same Gannet Ident and a promo for Celtics on 56 with the same logo from 1984. I guess things didn't change much over those four years.
Actually punkghost21, TV38 later did Celtics road games, but all Celtic games home and away are now on Comcast Sportsnet (formerly SportsChannel and Fox Sports New England.)
I love the late-80s filmed animations. They were so advanced, and they almost always outclassed the contemporary CGI of the era (except the great stuff Pacific Data Images did for the networks...)
Jack Hynes retired when Sunbeam bought channel 56. His last newscast was 12/18/06. 7News at 10 on CW56 premiered the next night, 12-19-06. Uma Pemmaraju later worked for WBZ, now she's at the Fox News Channel.
Celtics lost 125-108 that night. The Pistons would also defeat them in the Eastern Conference Finals in six games that spring. The 1987-88 season was the last time the Celtics were the #1 seed in the East. They had a regular season record of 57-25.
Celtics road games were later on FOX25, then TV38, then WABU-68 for one season, now all Celtic games are on Comcast SportsNet.
