Not to be naive here, but what's the Boston landmark in the sixth promo at 2:35?

@Ian16545

It is the facade of the Prudential Building.

At 2:54, they say that "we're for hope and Yankee Pride". Yankee pride? Not in Boston! GO RED SOX!

On another not, the people in those videos seemed to enjoy being in WBZ's promos because they were smiling and waving at the cameras.

I remember this promo, I could even sing parts of it! Too bad channel 4 stinks now, I hate their "Opinion" format, I want accurate, truthful news, not some talking heads' opinion/slant on a news story. They need to really revamp their station, they've lost their credibility. I miss the old days!

Scary that I still remember most of these promos thirty-five years later! The Hancock tower (0.43) must have just been completed.

Thank you so much for posting this!  I remember when that first one was running on WBZ-TV in late 1976 thru April 1977. It's just fantastic to see that promo spot again!
