RIP Rex Trailer

[Chris Hall]

On the WBZ-TV 35th anniversary show that I still have on VHS tape Rex Trailer explained that part of the shows demise was due to neighborhood teenage thugs setting fire to the outdoor western set. It was far too expensive to re-create so it was the beginning of the end.  As a kid watching I always remember it being announced that you are watching Boomtown on Westinghouse Stations WBZ-TV Boston and WJZ-TV Baltimore.... a live simulcast.
