  • my mind is blown. am i 13 again, on the brown velour recliner?

  • Star Trek AND Star Wars in the same video? This I gotta see...

  • use to be monkees in the afternoon the wjar in providence would have star trek at 5 and wlvi would have star trek at 6 ..that was a summer tradition lol

  • 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..

  • Un banano. I remember that.

  • 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!

  • I actually remember that psa commercial down to R2D2's click and beeps. Thx for the upload.
