Now their listings are for CBS, NBC, ABC, etc. WSBK is called MNT which is not the way anyone thinks of them or their network.  But the local news blocks reference the Boston stations.

Not difficult to turn to 777 for WBTS for live NBC programs, but to record them I had to, for example, I have to record “7 News” on Wednesday at 9:00 to record “Law and Order SVU" because the program and channel number still has WBTS on 787 and WHDH on 777.

>>> Since several of you wrote about WSBK recently, I thought I’d ask a question.  I get over-the-air internal antenna broadcasts in Brookline Village, around route 9. The only station that is really touchy, and needs occasional antenna repositioning, is WSBK.  I’ve never quite figured out  why that is but perhaps some of you might know?
