Somewhere out there is a jingle or production music afficianado who knows who produced the music package for WSBK. Used to watch 38 on cable in upstate new york and always thought the station had a certain class to it - especially the Movie Loft and Dana Hersey!
I am a very nostalgic person and this adds yet another memory to my scrapbook of memories. When I was a little kid I had an old videotape that actually a Movie 38 theme video and I was so enthralled with it that I kept playing the theme over and over and over until I was tired of doing so. Bottom Line, great piece of nostalgia and to the person who posted this please post more of these Movie 38 videos if you have any and if you do it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
What else do you have? This is awesome! I think we have to start a Boston TV Nostalgia site. I just found some other stuff from channel 56. The real gem would be some old channel 25 stuff before it became FOX.
The "Entertaining Boston" slogan is being brought back in some of the ads promoting the new independent TV38. A non-affiliated station is probably no big deal if it's owned and operated by CBS corp. considering KCAL in LA has been O&O by CBS since 2002 and shares resources with KCBS.
I remember when TV38 was on my cable system in the mid 1980's. They had the same openeing sequence for Movie Greats, but done in a different color scheme and used a different song instead of the Movie 38. It sounded more majestic as opposed to the disco sound.
Now they're becoming independent again because of a rival network becoming the new CW affiliate. Maybe it's for the best but TV 38 is going to lose a lot of money and they need to fill the void so to speak.

This opening/closing was not used for WSBK's prime-time movies once the station had Dana Hersey hosting them as "The Movie Loft".
