  • This anniversary special gala was shot on the set of WCVB's then-new late night talk show, 'Night Talk with Jane Whitney' (which later appeared in syndication, in selected markets, as 'The Jane Whitney Show' in 1993).

  • The 35th anniversary special will be on 3/19/07!

  • Well you should know that I trust you also! :) (and not that the exact date really matters) but I had to check once we started to debate it. I only state exact dates when there are several pieces of information that lead me to the same conclusion. I reviewed the tape and found the clues I needed.

  • Well that's unusual, but I do recall the station's 25th anniversary special airing on 3/19/97. I distinctly remember Peter Jennings, when narrating the history of Channel 5 in Boston, saying that 'CVB signed on at 3AM "25 years ago today", so I know that's correct. I also saw this anniversary show you are putting up, I swore it also aired on the birthday, but I am taking your word for it! :-)

  • The Chronicle 25 year anniversary aired on 1/27/07 - close but not exactly (1/25/82). Speaking of which, if there is an interest, I can also post segments from that.

  • Yes, you are correct about the 3/19/72 but after some research, this actually aired on 3/25/92. you made me look! :)

  • It has to be 3/19, since 'CVB replaced the old WHDH-TV on 3/19/72 and they always aired these specials on the exact anniversary (including the 25th).

  • And Chet is on NECN now, right?

  • Now WCVB turns 35 this year! Actually this is the second channel 5 for Boston. Before 1972, 5 was WHDH-TV.

  • Yup, it's from 1992. I don't know the exact date but you're probably pretty close!
