WBZ-TV History and Where Are They Now?

[tk41c@aol.com]

It was Judge Roy Bean, originated on the station's RCA TK-26 color telecine.

Later, when news became big business, the color chain was split into three monochrome chains.  Much later, it was restored as a color telecine.  I'm not making this up.

 I remember, sometime in the spring of 1957, about 6 months or so before
 WHDH-TV went on the air, they were advertising something on channel 4 as
 "New England's only local color show."  It was a filmed syndicated show, and
 unfortunately, I can't remember what it was.  I don't think I actually ever
 watched it.
