As a kid growing up in Maine in the 70's, cable TV meant one thing and one thing ONLY: Channel 56!! It was the best! Cartoons everyday, Creature Double Feature - great memories! Ah, you'll be missed 56!

thanks for posting this!! I was so mad when they shut down without any warning to the viewers. I grew up watching 56 news and I felt robbed when they went off air. Thanks again-- I still miss watching those guys!

You know, the Living 56 song had a line about "Growing up with 56" - can't be more true! This was the end of an era, and thanks for it.

Where's Karen and Mike Ratte?
Wank's at 5 doing the weekend weather, Frank's at Fox 25, also at weekends.
Ahh...alas...it came to an end. Sadly, it left us.

not sure.
last time I heard, Karen was working for a bio-tech company in MA. I do not know about Ratte but I hope some station somewhere took him in because he is very good at what he does. They would be very lucky to have him.

WLVI 56 still exists. It has not ceased operations as a station.

I'm a bit confused.. how do you mean by Last Day? Isn't it a CW affiliate, or is it centralised operations?

The TV station known as WLVI-56 by many Bostonians was purchased by another station in late 2006. Thus, the station as it was known was shut down and many people were laid off. The CW56 is still airing in the Boston market but through another station. The celebration you see on the video was the last day of the ORIGINAL 56... and nothing will ever replace the original!!
