Saddened by his passing. [31] The Boston Globe noted a history of hostility between NBC and Sunbeam, including its objection to NBC's late-1980s purchase of WTVJ in Miami to displace its own WSVN (which later defected to Fox), and the aforementioned conflicts surrounding The Jay Leno Show.        Charts By September 1988, the Live at Five format was dropped (as it remained the intellectual property of ATV), and the 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. block was restructured as a more conventional newscast, anchored by Williams and Lester Strong. “His last years were probably his most successful because he did for this station what no one else has done, and that’s to be number one in prime time, a breaking-news leader, and to be doing so well as an independent local station,” said anchor Kim Khazei following the segment. Notable productions that premiered early on were Look (1982–1984), which began as a two-hour (4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) late afternoon talk and lifestyle show that led into WNEV's 6:00 p.m. newscast. The dual operation, which began with much fanfare and leverage, proved to be too costly for Mugar and company. When WHDH switched to NBC in January 1995, the morning newscast was scaled back to the traditional 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. timeslot in order to accommodate Today; a few months later, it was renamed from 7 News Morning Edition to the current Today in New England.

On February 29, 2008, it was reported that the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike caused a significant loss in viewers for the station's late newscast.

They planned to keep Ellis and Willis on at 6:00 p.m., while giving the 11:00 p.m. slot to weekend anchor/reporter Kate Sullivan and Dave Wright, an incoming newsman hired away from ATV in the Canadian Maritimes. However, in the FCC hearings, RKO General had withheld evidence of General Tire's misconduct, and had also failed to disclose evidence of accounting errors on its own part. In the spring of 1984, NETV moved its on-air news look away from the changes made only two years prior, taking away the anchoring desk from the newsroom and utilizing a backdrop allowing chroma keys and CGI graphics to be placed. Delcamp previously served at WHDH-TV (Channel 7) for 14 years. https://t.co/jHKQyIcwXq, — Christa Delcamp NBC10 Boston (@ChristaDelcamp) February 19, 2018. [49] The Boston Globe reported that the station would also introduce a new news set in September 2016.[49]. Most of the station's prominent newscasters wanted nothing to do with Cheatwood (who had a reputation as a pioneer in tabloid television) and promptly resigned. The newsroom facility, built feverishly over the summer of 1982, was cited by The Boston Globe as being the most technologically advanced out of all three network stations in the market. Even though Ansin had a succession plan in place with his two sons, the media mogul was not ready to relinquish control. At a time when local news is so endangered, Ed Ansin stood out for his unwavering personal commitment to broadcast journalism. The radio station was sold to Atlantic Ventures in 1992.[10]. At the time, the FCC would not allow two broadcast stations with differentiating owners in the same city to use the same call sign, so the WNEV call sign was used in its place of the original WNAC-TV call letters. Despite a continued massive influx of capital and marketing (including a highly financed promotional campaign employing the refrain "Feel Good About That"), and more positive reviews of the station's newscasts following the appointment of Willis as lead anchor, WNEV still failed to take the competition by storm. [15] The purchase was completed in late July. Historic New Hampshire home that was facing demolition is sold to museum, What late-night hosts said about the chaotic debate, All the movies and TV shows you can start streaming in October, He reaches out when he’s bored and lonely, David Attenborough gives shark tooth to 7-year-old Prince George, This is how readers are taking care of themselves during the pandemic, Boston.com Book Club's latest pick is Makenna Goodman's 'The Shame'. Help. The Lottery Live format moved to its third consecutive station, with Dawn Hayes being retained as host by WCVB. However, many of the crew's doubts about the new, impending tabloid style were realized once the format switch was off and running. More changes were in store concerning the look of the newscasts. [18] After the switch to NBC, WHDH became one of the few stations in the country to have had a primary affiliation with all of the Big Three networks. During its time with NBC, channel 7 cleared the network's entire programming schedule (an exception was the network's early morning newscast at the time of the switch, NBC News at Sunrise, which ended on September 6, 1999; its successor, Early Today, was carried by WHDH for the remainder of its NBC affiliation).

The anchor replacement and Wright-Ellis pairing ideas were ultimately nixed (by the 1980s, the idea of two men anchoring together was passe), in the end, Sullivan and Wright took over both the 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. newscasts in September. WHDH-TV (Channel 7) anchor Christa Delcamp has departed the station after 14 years.But she won’t be off the air long. Kris spent more than three years leading the sports department at WOAY-TV before being promoted to evening news anchor. Meredith Corporation and Nexstar Broadcasting Group were also reportedly interested in purchasing the station. The Live at Five hour of the news was a cross between the informality of WBZ's competing Live on 4 and WNEV's regular newscasts, without the lifestyle and specialty features seen on Live on 4. He was 84.

Programs include Dateline, The Doctors, Funny You Should Ask, Family Feud, Extra, Inside Edition, and many others. Rehema Ellis was promoted to female lead anchor (at 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.) with R.D.
He was born and raised in Miami and used everything he learned during his internship to help him land his first on-air job as a sports anchor in Oak Hill, West Virginia. I’ve heard the same, I guess it was quite a mess. The set was also steadily integrated into the newsroom, much like WSVN's had been (taking a cue from CNN); the resulting set/newsroom hybrid was, like at WSVN, dubbed the Newsplex. "[48], On August 16, 2016, Ansin announced that he would no longer pursue the appeal against NBC, arguing that it was unlikely that the appeal would be resolved in his favor. According to a source, it looks like Anchor Madeline Hunt is gone after less than a year at the station. [67] After the station filed its minor change application for a construction permit, stating the channel move,[68] on November 9, 2009, WHDH terminated operations on VHF channel 7 and now permanently operates solely on channel 42 (mapping to virtual channel 7 via PSIP). WHDH, virtual channel 7 (UHF digital channel 35), is an independent television station licensed to Boston, Massachusetts, United States.The station is owned by Sunbeam Television, as part of a duopoly with Cambridge-licensed CW affiliate WLVI (channel 56). On January 1, 2017, after losing NBC's affiliation to a newly formed owned-and-operated station, WBTS-LD (channel 8, now Telemundo O&O WYCN-LD in Providence, Rhode Island), WHDH became a news-intensive independent station.[1].
