One of the coolest promotions of Boston TV. Letting Trekies host Star trek! I remember them doing it! Some of the 'hosts' did it tounge-in-cheek (like a local entertainer, who did ST impressions throughout his turn) while others were stoic to the point where you'd think they were doing a BBC documentary on the Blitz! (Either way,,, they were alot of fun!)

I remember getting 56 here in CT. Use to watch all the cool stuff on here and remember the promo's.  Thanks for putting these up.

Wow I remember that starwars PSA from my childhood. They ran all sorts of PSA's back then now that i think of it. The "wagon wheel" of cheese, various Bugs Bunny ones..

OK, let an old man remember: In my earliest memory of channel 56 (Boston), they were a Kaiser-Globe Broadcasting entity (call letters - WKGB) and were part of a group of stations owned by aluminum tycoon Edgar Kaiser (future founder of Kaiser-Permanente Insurance and HMO's). They were the station Boston area kids watched to see Star Trek, Kimba & Speed Racer. They were also home of Saturday TV staple Creature Double feature (right after WWWF Championship Wrestling).

OMG, the "Star Trek Club"....! (It was "hosted" by fans who would have made great extras in that infamous Shatner SNL skit!)

WLVI-56 ran the episodes "uncut" by cutting off the opening and closing credits...

A real blast from growing up in the Boston area. Thanks for sharing!
