When were they running local news from WABC-TV on
Sunday nights?  Just curious. I'm sure that confused a
few people in the Boston market wondering why the news
from Channel 7 in New York found itself on Channel 9
in Manchester, NH, considering that there was already
an ABC affiliate on Boston's Channel 7.  But with FCC
requirements stipulating news and information
programming (even on Sundays), this was a easy way of
doing just that (directly from the network feed, which
usually just ran the local O&O during non-network
times).  A little bit of treat, actually, with the
news coming from WABC-TV.... I'm sure it was in color.
 Until 1973, WMUR-TV had no live local color. WABC-TV
went full local color in '66.
