WSBK had an arrangement with WBZ in which the latter produced a 10 p.m. newscast for TV38. This deal lasted two years until New England Cable News started producing WSBK's 10 p.m. news.
@@VaultMasterDBT I wasn't aware of that. I thought WBZ and WSBK aren't sister stations until 2000 when WSBK's owner, Viacom merged with WBZ's owner, CBS.
@@Kevin-xv9pm That's correct - the two didn't become sister stations until 2000. WSBK just negotiated with WBZ back in 1993 to carry a 10:00 newscast produced by Channel 4. If both stations were under the same corporate umbrella back then, there wouldn't have been an NECN-produced newscast on the station from 1995 to 1998.
WSBK-TV was currently owned by CBS News and Stations and is currently a sister station of WBZ-TV since 2000.
How come there's a WBZ newscast on WSBK?

@@VaultMasterDBT Alrighty. Makes sense. When WSBK's broadcasting operations were moved to WBZ's facility that time, it share a news department there.
