Wow that combo's commercial was just awful!

[MSTS1]

Yeah... about as bad as they get

What was the last month in the year 1989 that the 1987 WBZ news theme song was used?

OMG! A promo for "Evening Magazine"! I'm still listening to Barry Nolan on WGBH's "Says You" on Staurday nights (radio). Give it a shot.

That I can agree on, one of the big batches I have (under VSN) had a prime-time movie "Charlie Hannah" instead of some NBC show. Maybe it's for 'BZ to make local money!

I know Mike Macklin has worked at certain stations in Boston, he's now at WHDH.

It is very unusual that Len Thomas would be announcing bumpers on an NBC network movie broadcast. Sometimes WBZ would preempt primetime shows in favor of their own collection of films.
