What memories, I can still remember that theme music too! It was appointment tv to watch the 6 p.m. news every night. Back then all of the Boston stations had an hour of news at 6 followed by the network news at 7, it stayed that way until 1987 when then WNEV now WHDH (Channel 7) began airing the live feed of the CBS Evening News at 6:30, WBZ and WCVB would later follow suit years later. As a footnote, also at this time in 1978, WBZ had Boston's earliest evening at 5:30 called First 4 News anchored by Shelby Scott and Gail Harris. 5 p.m. news was really unheard of since most people didn't finish work until 5 p.m. Great clip!
Grew up in Melrose back then…great memories!
I hail from New Hampshire originally but, lived in North Carolina for 33 years since 1988 at the age of 12 years old.
The handwritten MAP on the board was awesome!
Wow! Warm for May!
