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!
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.
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".
