WBZ's IDs

[Todd Glickman]

The voice opening the new TOH ID is Gary LaPierre.  It's also good to  
hear again the five-tone jingle that WBZ used extensively in the 70s  
and 80s (it's tucked between the "WBZ" and the "WBZ-HD, Boston.")

Here's a link to some of my archived WBZ jingles and out-takes.  As I  
recall most of their 70s packages were done by TM Productions of Dallas.

I was an intern at WBZ in the mid-70s for Norm Macdonald and Don  
Kent.  Sure, drawing their weather maps with the tempra marker was  
fun.  But what I really enjoyed was after the 11pm Saturday night TV  
news, going down to radio and watching Listo Fisher do the midnight  
WBZ news, then leading in to Robin Young's overnight show.
