The channel 56 license was purchased by Kaiser Broadcasting and the Boston Globe in 1966. Kaiser Broadcasting was the name of an entity that owned and operated Broadcast television stations in the United States from 1958 to 1977 The Boston Globe (and Boston Sunday Globe) is the most widely circulated daily Newspaper in Boston and in New England, The new owners returned the station to the air on December 21, 1966 as independent WKBG-TV (Kaiser Broadcasting/Boston Globe), from the same studios/transmission tower atop Zion Hill in Woburn that WTAO/WXHR had utilized.

In the early 1970s, the station's transmitter moved to its current site in Needham. The antenna in Needham site gave channel 56 better coverage of the southern portion of the Boston market than the Woburn site afforded.
As a Kaiser station, channel 56's schedule consisted primarily of cartoons, off-network sitcoms and old movies. However, it was willing to experiment with such projects as Universal Television's Operation Prime Time (although Paramount Television would contribute some programs as well) and syndicated reruns of National Geographic specials in prime time.

For most of its tenure as an independent, channel 56 was well behind WSBK-TV (channel 38) in the ratings. WSBK-TV, channel 38 is an independent television station licensed to Boston Massachusetts, owned by the CBS Corporation. Still, it was carried on most cable systems throughout New England, and channel 56 did carry some sports programming of its own, including road games of the Boston Celtics from 1966 to 1969 and road telecasts of the Boston Bruins from 1966 to 1967.

Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) Gannett Company Inc ( is a publicly-traded media Holding company based in the United States.
Under Gannett, WLVI continued its general entertainment format, which included children's programming from 6:00 to 11:00 a. m. , as well as from 1:00 to 5:30 p. m. under the WLVI Kids' Club banner. For the generation of New England children growing up during this period, "Uncle Dale" Dorman was the familiar personality fronting the Kids' Club, hosting the cartoons and appearing in hosted commercial segments. By 1990, Dorman left the station and was replaced by Paul Wagner and Elizabeth Dann, who appeared in new segments of their own and, like Dorman, doubled as announcers. Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar)
WLVI also started a news department, which soon resulted in a 10:00 p. m. newscast, and continued use of the Field Communications-style station branding and logo for quite a while. From 1985 to 1990, channel 56 again became the broadcast home of Celtics road games.
In 1994, Gannett sold the station to the Tribune Company, which affiliated the station with the newly-launched WB Television Network in January 1995. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) The Tribune Company is a large American Multimedia Corporation based in Chicago Illinois. Year 1995 ( MCMXCV) was a Common year starting on Sunday. Events of 1995 The station's newscast later became known as The Ten O'Clock News on WB 56.
The station was temporarily off the air in August 1998 when a crane that was erecting a nearby studio-to-transmitter link (STL) tower collapsed onto WLVI's building. Though no one was injured and the damage was confined to the station's office spaces, the incident resulted in several hundred thousand dollars worth of damages. The station used a satellite truck for network programming downlink and studio space at WCVB-TV for its 10 p. m. newscast.
In 1999, WLVI began a one-year stint as the flagship station of the Boston Red Sox. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) The Boston Red Sox are a Professional baseball team based in Boston Massachusetts, and are the reigning (2007 World Series Champions. The station also discontinued its morning kids programming block in favor of a short-lived morning newscast. The station also began running more syndicated talk and reality shows. Afternoon children's programming continued to be provided by Kids' WB until early 2006 . Kids' WB is an online network that was launched on April 28, 2008. Channel 56 was the last commercial station in the Boston market that continued to broadcast weekday children's programming.
On January 24, 2006, the WB and UPN networks announced that they would merge into a new network called The CW Television Network. Events 41 - Gaius Caesar (Caligula, known for his eccentricity and cruel Despotism, is Assassinated by his disgruntled United Paramount Network ( UPN) was a Television network that broadcast in over 200 markets in the United States and that was in production for over eleven The CW Television Network ( The CW) is a Television network in the United States launched at the beginning of the 2006-2007 television season. The new network signed 10-year affiliation agreements with most of Tribune's WB affiliates, including WLVI. It would not have been an upset had WSBK been chosen, however. Network officials had been on record as preferring the "strongest" WB and UPN stations, and Boston was one of the few markets where the WB and UPN affiliates were both relatively strong. The CW began operations on September 18, 2006, and WLVI became known as Boston's CW. Events 96 - Nerva is proclaimed Roman Emperor after Domitian is assassinated To correspond to the affiliation switch, the station's daily 10 PM newscast became known as The Ten O'Clock News on Boston's CW.
On September 14, 2006, four days prior to the launch of the CW, Tribune Broadcasting announced that WLVI would be sold to Sunbeam Television, owner of WHDH-TV, for $117. Events 81 - Domitian becomes Emperor of the Roman Empire upon the death of his brother Titus. Sunbeam Television Corporation is a broadcasting company based in Miami Florida, owned by Edmund N 3 million. The sale received final approval in late November 2006 from the FCC, creating Boston's third television duopoly (the others are Hearst-Argyle owned WCVB and WMUR, and CBS-owned WBZ-TV and WSBK). Hearst-Argyle Television Inc ( is a broadcasting company in the United States. WMUR-TV, channel 9 is the ABC -affiliated Television station for the state of New Hampshire that is licensed to Manchester. CBS Broadcasting Inc ( CBS) is an American radio and Television network. WBZ-TV, channel 4 is an owned-and-operated television station of the CBS Television Network, located in Boston Massachusetts.
Even though the sale to Sunbeam had already become official by then, Tribune continued to operate WLVI until December 18, 2006, when the Tribune-run station website was closed and replaced with a redirect to the new Sunbeam-run website, and the final Tribune-produced newscast aired. Events 218 BC - Second Punic War: Battle of the Trebia - Hannibal 's Carthaginian forces defeat those of the WLVI's operations were merged with those of WHDH, and all of the station's equipment was moved to WHDH's studios on Bulfinch Place (just six miles from WLVI's old Morrissey Boulevard studio), and the station's news department was closed. The consolidation resulted in about 130 layoffs from WLVI, though some newsroom staffers were retained by WHDH, which took over production of WLVI's daily 10 PM newscast. Also, the station's sales department was transferred to the new location. The old set and equipment of WLVI was sold at auction several months later.
With the sale, WLVI changed its branding to CW 56, though the station is sometimes called New England's CW on-air. It has largely become a "pass-through" for automated programming.
Also with the sale to Sunbeam, WLVI is the largest CW station not owned by either Tribune or CBS Corporation, the two main founding ownership groups of the network. CBS Corporation () is an American Media conglomerate focused on Broadcasting, Publishing, Billboards, and Television

It is also notable for being the first on-screen job for Natalie Jacobson who went on to become lead anchor at WCVB-TV in the 1970s.

As of the 2000 census the city had a total population of 105167
Field Communications started a news department shortly before putting the station up for sale. It began producing a 10 p. m. weeknight newscast which initially was a pair of ten-minute locally-produced inserts in what otherwise was an hour-long simulcast of CNN Headline News. Headline News is a Spin-off network from the original Cable News Network ( CNN) television news network in the United States. Under Gannett ownership, WLVI expanded it into a half-hour broadcast on April 23, 1984. Events 215 BC - A temple is built on the Capitoline Hill dedicated to Venus Erycina to commemorate the Roman defeat at Year 1984 ( MCMLXXXIV) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1984 Gregorian calendar) This was the third attempt at a primetime newscast in the Boston market. Debuting as The News at Ten, it established itself with top-drawer talent early on with Boston news veteran Jack Hynes as lead anchor and Bill O'Connell handling sports. Hynes' co-anchors in the first several years included Julie Emry, Darlene McCarthy (who later went to WHDH-TV), Uma Pemmaraju, and finally Karen Marinella, who arrived in 1990 and remained until the end of WLVI's Tribune-produced newscast in December of 2006. Uma Pemmaraju is an anchor and host on the Fox News Channel cable network Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) Tribune (from the Latin: tribunus; Byzantine Greek form τριβούνος) was a title shared by 2–3 elected magistracies in the Events in December Union Day of Romania (1 December World AIDS Day ( December 1) National Day of Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.
By the early-1990s, the newscast had become THE Ten O'Clock News (always emphasizing "the") and had expanded to a full hour. The 1990s collectively refers to the years between and including 1990 and 1999 For well over a decade, WLVI was the 10 P. M. ratings leader with or without competition in the arena. Although PBS affiliate WGBH-TV was the only other local station running a newscast at 10 (until 1991), it was not considered a major competitor since WGBH is a public television station. The Public Broadcasting Service ( PBS) is a Non-profit Public broadcasting Television service with 354 member TV stations in the For the radio station specifically see WGBH (FM. WGBH is a non-commercial Television and Radio broadcast service located in Boston In the Fall of 1993, Fox affiliate WFXT launched the NECN-originated Fox 25 News at Ten and independent WSBK-TV introduced the WBZ-produced WBZ News 4 on TV 38, giving WLVI serious competition. WFXT, channel 25 is an Owned-and-operated station of the News Corporation -owned Fox Broadcasting Company, located in Boston Massachusetts. New England Cable News, known on-air as "NECN", is a regional cable Television network serving the New England region of the By then, 10 o'clock viewers were loyal to WLVI and the station remained number-one in the ratings.
At that time, Jack Hynes relegated himself to weekday contributor / fill-in anchor while regularly anchoring the weekend newscasts. This paved the way for later lead anchors Jon Du Pre, Jeff Barnd, and finally Frank Mallicoat. Mallicoat had handled sports and general assignment reports before stepping up to co-anchor the weeknight show with Karen Marinella in 2002. Another mainstay of WLVI's THE Ten O'Clock News was Chief Meteorologist Mike Wankum who first joined the team in 1993. Mike Wankum is a staff Meteorologist at WCVB -TV in Boston Massachusetts. Year 1993 ( MCMXCIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar) Wankum soon gained a following with his unique approach to forecasting and won numerous New England Emmys.
The only time WLVI programmed news outside their established 10 P. M. slot was in June of 2000 when they premiered Boston's WB in the Morning. Events By Place World Human population reaches about 257 million A mix of news, talk, and lifestyle features, the show aired for two hours in the morning (from 6 to 8 A. M. ) Previously, sitcom reruns and some children's programming had aired in the time slot but the station managed to keep the same amount of kids' shows on the schedule without sacrificing. The program lasted two years but could not hold its own against the other local newscasts and national morning shows. The show was canceled in the spring of 2002.
By 2003, with fierce competition emerging from WFXT's now-in-house news department, ratings for WLVI's news started to slide. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. Within a year, the station had fallen to third place behind both WFXT (which was now #1) and WSBK's Nightcast at 10 (produced again by WBZ). The WSBK newscast was canceled in January of 2005 and WLVI was left in second place. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. However, it would not regain its former glory during the rest of its tenure as a Tribune-owned station.
Due to the increasing popularity of the WFXT newscast and after Tribune closed local television newsrooms in Philadelphia and San Diego, there were unconfirmed rumors that Tribune would shut down the WLVI news department and have it outsourced to another channel or even canceled altogether. WPHL-TV, channel 17 is a television station in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, owned by the Tribune Company and currently affiliated with News Corporation -owned KSWB-TV, channel 69 is the Fox -affiliated Television station for San Diego California. WLVI had initially denied that its newsroom would be closed.
As a result of the sale to Sunbeam Television, WHDH took over production of WLVI's 10 P. M. newscast using its existing staff. As the sale only covered the license, network affiliation, and technical equipment, most of WLVI's 150 employees remained employed by Tribune until being let go. Newscaster Jack Hynes closed the station's final newscast noting: "someone (else) should have bought the station", calling the sale and shutdown "a tragic chapter in Boston's television history".
WHDH started producing WLVI's newscast on December 19, 2006. Events 324 - Licinius abdicates his position as Roman Emperor. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. On that date, the newscast became known as 7 News at 10 on CW 56. WHDH indicated that there might eventually be a new weekday morning newscast (again) on WLVI which would compete with WFXT's highly popular weekday morning show.
From the start of the WHDH-production on WLVI until July of 2007, the newscasts featured the music and graphics package currently used on Sunbeam's only other television property, WSVN in Miami. Events in July The traditional period known as "fence month" (the closed season for deer in England ended July 9 (date varied Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. WSVN, channel 7 is the Fox -affiliated Television station for South Florida, licensed to Miami. Starting in July, WLVI began airing a newscast opening that resembles those seen on WHDH except with a 7 News at 10 title. Consequently, the transitions are much flashier than the Tribune-produced newscast and even those on WHDH. There is no "CW 56" channel bug shown during the broadcast. Instead, there is a Circle 7 logo with a smaller "CW 56" logo below that in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The Circle 7 logo is one of the most classic and familiar Television station Logos in the United States. The newscast airs from 10 to 11 P. M. seven days a week. This is a change, as Tribune produced only a half-hour newscast on Saturday nights. For use on WLVI, WHDH introduced new lifestyle and entertainment segments to fill the hour-long broadcast (mirroring some from WSVN).
