  • On the last slide, is that Keith Olbermann who is between Nat and Chet?

  • WHo knew that WCVB is of the few metromedia stations along with KNEW-TV 32 in San Francisco to not be turned into fox stations.

  • At 4:45, it sounds like Dan Davis, the legendary BC football announcer/ESPN Radio sportscaster, on the voice over.

  • Yes. Keith had been at the station since the late '70s I believe, but served as lead sports anchor between Don Gillis' retirement and Mike Lynch's arrival.

  • @bakerandbaker1 there are several stations across the country who have not changed their channel number style/font i.e. WPVI, WSVN, just to name a couple off the top of my head.

  • That Looks like Keith Olbermann who later went to KTLA and KCBS in LA in the 1990's and then went national.

  • That was probably THE best "anthem" for a TV station!

  • Hard to believe that channel five channel number has never chnaged.

  • Yup!

  • @kresblain the Jackpot music that sounds like the Torgo music...

  • Ahh, the sweet voice of Ernie Anderson.

    The voice of ABC pitching its affiliate WCVB, no matter if its a promo, or news open
