  • WBZ should've stayed with NBC.

  • You ain't kiddin'. BZ hit perilous times since the switch in 1/2/1995.

  • Those were the people of the days. In additon to most of the people seen in this documentary, I also remember Dave Maynard, Jerry Azar, Pablo Corea, Chris Marrou, Jonathan Levine, Randy Price, Andy Hiller, Steve Aveson, Ron Cantera, Joe Bergantino, Sharon Wright, and the late Dennis Kauff. There may be others, but that's all I can think of.

  • @patrickballoonman You forgot Larry Glick. I know he was mainly on WBZ Radio but he did make and appearance or two on the TV side from time to time. For a time all of the greater Boston area turned into his nightly talk show. To listen to his fantastic callers, jokes, songs and to try to get a Glick University T-Shirt. I spent many days of my childhood listening to him. Ah those were the days. Sadly he is no longer with us.

  • I know Tom Bergeron had been the host for America's Funniest Home Videos, & that show still keeps on going after 19 seasons on the air.

  • Barry Nolan succeeded Marty Sender, and he preceded Jim Watkins. However, he was the only one to work with the three female anchors. Robin Young, Candace Hasey (who unseated Young) and finally Sara Edwards. Barry was the longest running male anchor.

  • Barry Nolan also became a co-host for the syndicated tabloid show "Hard Copy". He's at NECN now, I think.

  • You're right about Hard Copy, but Barry actually works at CN-8 now. He might as well work at NECN. This is one of New England's finest. Thanks for speaking.

  • Actually, Barry Nolan doesn't work at CN8 anymore. He got the boot for distributing fliers during an Emmy award show dinner that contained quotes from Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment lawsuit in protest of an award given to Mr. O'Reilly.

  • thx 4 the 411. sorry barry.

  • Very interesting documentary - thanks for posting it all!

    Just curious - when did WBZ become a CBS affiliate?

  • Glad you are enjoying the documentary. WBZ became a CBS affiliate on 1/2/95.

  • The same date when all stations under Westinghouse Broadcasting became CBS affiliates.
