This was the golden age for local TV news.

During the early 1980's, WBZ televsied about half of the Boston Celtics' schedule (some 40 regular-season games each year), including about 15 home games (one of the few NBA teams that alowed home game telecasts on over-the-air TV at the time), as well as all playoff games (home and away) not in the NBA's network TV package (then with CBS). It was the most extensive local TV schedule of any NBA team of the era

That was a great image campaign for WBZ along with "Today's 4" as well.

1:39 _"This is NewsCenter 2 Nightcast, Central Florida's number one late news."_

Back when Channel 4 was an NBC affiliate...I remember watching "SNL", "St. Elsewhere", etc. on Channel 4 in those days. Now they're CBS.

Nice Commercials. Those were the days. Too bad that today they do not have these commercial promos. They can't afford to waste valuable ad time.

WBZ-TV was Westinghouse-owned from Day One and affiliated with NBC since radio days. When Westinghouse bought CBS in 1993, it changed all of its owned stations to CBS affiliations where they weren't before. Same thing happened in Philadelphia, Denver and other cities, and it took a couple of years to work details of the station sales with FCC. In Boston, channels 4 and 7 switched to CBS and NBC; the peacock flew the coop to channel 60 a couple of years back.

that was Mike Douglas (0:18)--whose talk show ended right around 1981-pumped by the John Davidson Show

Odd side note, my neighbor who lived across the street from me at that time, had actually been the guy behind the camera for most of their newscasts (and I would more than likely say also was a doing some of the computer graphics at that time which was a fairly new evolving medium)

I dug all of that old Celtic video footage.

There's Chris Marrou! Always in San Antonio except for a short time in 1980 in Boston. Thanks YTTM.tv!

Happy 75th birthday to Boston sister station of ktvt and ktxa in Dallas kstwashington in Seattle wjz in Baltimore.

This really was the golden age. Btw, this is the station that preempts Wheel or Jeopardy for Patriots All Access (smh).

WBZ-TV (Now an CBS affiliate) Boston, Massachusetts.

WBZ was an NBC afilliate at the time before switching to CBS in 1995.

the same jingle from WESH-TV 2 in orlando

As good as this jingle is, WBZ really grew the beard when it was replaced with "Today's 4, a whole lot more."

Gary Collins (RIP) at 0:48

at one time wbz had a very good news team jack williams out last them all, wbz news will never be the same now that jack williams is gone.

Not to mention "We're 4!"

WMGM CHannel 40 NBC in Atlantic City, NJ area(through 12/31/2004) used a version of The One for All as its theme song about a decade later

WFIE-TV Evansville, Indiana Might Either Used This As Well Back Since 1987 As "14 Country's The 1-4 All" But I Don't Know Yet...

Short lived, this theme would find it's way down in Hartford with WFSB...

Same jingle for WFSB-3 Hartford.

Classic Celtics!

@zachhoran That's right. Loved the music.

I wish WJKW (WJW) will be the jingle version of one for all it's called you're sure look like a winner

WFSB-TV use the same jingle

Channel Nine Still the One reused that song

Did "The One 4 All" Campaign Happen To My City Too?

WMGM's "TV40's the One for All" promo was used c. 1990

WMGM-TV WILDWOOD/ATLANTIC CITY

@pjvalisnochannel what's the name of the theme song?
