WQTV-68 Boston - Sign-On - 1986.
*The videotape has a gremlin in it, and
it will not render or play properly.
I was forced to grab a still from it to use.
You are not missing much this way...

  • Do you have any more of these WQTV clips?

  • I've since added more.

  • The announcer sounds like Dale Dorman, a veteran radio personality in Boston. Am I right?

  • No. I don't know who it is, but it's not Dorman.

  • There's no way it could have been Dorman since he was "Uncle Dale" on WLVI during those years. It DOES sound like him, though.

  • Yes, similar-sounding voice. Dorman can be heard on my : "2 - Twilight Zone Spectacular - WSBK - (2 of 7)" clip on 'Tech-Hifi Entertainment Show'. In ref. to Dale on WLVI, see my 'Reading Is Fundamental' clip. He often spoke over those WLVI Kid's Parade graphics at breaks.

    Anyone remember him from WRKO radio? I do; early-mid 70's... '68-RKO'

  • Some classic sign-ons on "Channel M"

  • @SellawEvets And Mr. Smith used to Work at Channels 2 and 44 (WGBH and WGBX) as you can hear him in the 1992 WGBH sign-off

  • I loved WQTV back in the 80s! Their programming was mostly reruns and network shows not carried by the regular affiliates  (i.e., soap operas Another World and Search for Tomorrow). Saturday nights at 10 they'd show Elvira's Movie Macabre and I'd always tune in! I miss WQTV.

  • The announcer was Bill Smith, who was also an announcer at Channel 7 during their CBS days (as WNEV).

  • I miss the Old Channel 67.
