WNAC Movie 7 Opening (1978)

From Boston's heritage Channel 7, WNAC-TV, comes this Movie 7 intro from 1978. Longtime viewers will recall that during Channel 7's WNAC/RKO General era, movies from the vast RKO film library were a staple of the weekday afternoon lineup. This clip was also from the period when Dialing for Dollars was also part of the movie block.

Channel 7 in general has changed logos/identities the most out of any other New England station. This Times-Serif "7" seen here was used from 1977 to 1980. NewsRoom 7, however, kept the logo into 1981, after the station had officially switched to the strip-layered "7" that lasted until WNAC's demise.

FYI, the music and the "Putting on the Hits" stinger actually come from BCTV in Canada. This was on an animation company demo.

For the longest time I wasn't sure about the Putting on the Hits portion, but both pieces share the same music so I did not want to post the WNAC part alone. Thanks for the clarification!
