I interned at SE7EN during the Fall of 82, and among weekend news graphics and assorted intern duties, I was part of the new day dawning. I built, routed and painted the big sign in the back behind the newsroom you can see at around 3:25. Upon graduation I was hired as News Graphics Designer... It was a fun time to get into TV!

Did Joe Day just say "NewsCenter Seven"?

In between May 1982 and September 1982, WNEV used the old WNAC anchors and sets.

So, wait. WNEV "flipped the switch" in May... but didn't debut NEWSE7EN until the fall? What happened in the interim? I assume they still did news during that time.

I believe Ernie Anderson was actually the voice of Newscenter 5... Anderson also being one of the image voices of ABC

I still wish Ed King had won...Massachusetts would've been in much better hands.

Joe Day- I still think he was the best political reporter Boston ever had until John Keller on Channel 4, originally 56.
