I loved WQTV back in the 80s! Their programming was mostly reruns and network shows not carried by the regular affiliates (i.e., soap operas Another World and Search for Tomorrow). Saturday nights at 10 they'd show Elvira's Movie Macabre and I'd always tune in! I miss WQTV.
Yes, similar-sounding voice. Dorman can be heard on my : "2 - Twilight Zone Spectacular - WSBK - (2 of 7)" clip on 'Tech-Hifi Entertainment Show'. In ref. to Dale on WLVI, see my 'Reading Is Fundamental' clip. He often spoke over those WLVI Kid's Parade graphics at breaks.
Anyone remember him from WRKO radio? I do; early-mid 70's... '68-RKO'
At this time WQTV Channel 68 in Boston, Massachusetts begins broadcasting in the encoded or "scrambled" mode. You now need to be a subscriber to "StarCase", and have a decoder attached to your television set.
Some classic sign-ons on "Channel M"

The announcer sounds like Dale Dorman, a veteran radio personality in Boston. Am I right?
dgendvil 4 years ago
No. I don't know who it is, but it's not Dorman.

The announcer was Bill Smith, who was also an announcer at Channel 7 during their CBS days (as WNEV).

@SellawEvets And Mr. Smith used to Work at Channels 2 and 44 (WGBH and WGBX) as you can hear him in the 1992 WGBH sign-off

There's no way it could have been Dorman since he was "Uncle Dale" on WLVI during those years. It DOES sound like him, though.

Wish someone would post some WQTV old clips from the Starcase or Star TV days. Would love a clip of Diane Francis, the Starcase hostess.
