First in color in Boston ?

["PETER GEORGE, N1GGP" <PGEORGE@WELLESLEY.EDU>]

     I am well aware that WHDH-TV/Channel 5 was the first TV station to
provide full local color in first few years of its' very short life.  I
recall that WBZ-TV still had "Boomtown" in black and white until the
later part of 1968.  I recall watching the "Mr. Magoo" and "Davey and
Goliath" cartoons in color and the local portion of "Boomtown" would go
back into black and white.  Was WBZ-TV the first station to do any color
(local or network) or was WHDH-TV the first.  I am sure Channel 7 was a 
late bloomer.  I do recall they had "Captain America" local and in color
in 1967.
    Channel 2 (BTW) went color in September, 1967 as did Channel 44 when
that station signed-on.

     Any thoughts ?
