The station ceased operations March 18, 1972, after the station lost its license. The channel, but not the license, was taken over by WCVB-TV the following morning: March 19, 1972. It is of no relation to either WCVB or the current WHDH-TV. Contents 1 History 2 News operation 3 Personalities 4 References // History WHDH-TV signed on November 26, 1957. It was owned by the Boston Herald-Traveler Corporation along with WHDH radio (AM 850, now occupied by WEEI; and FM 94.5, now WJMN). It was originally an ABC affiliate, but switched to CBS in 1961. [1] [2] Almost as soon as it signed on, the FCC began investigating allegations of impropriety in the granting of the television license. This touched off a struggle that lasted 15 years. As a result, WHDH-TV never had a license longer than six months at a time. (Most television licenses last for three years.) In 1969, a local group, Boston Broadcasters Incorporated (BBI), was granted a construction permit for a new channel 5 under the call letters WCVB-TV after promising to air more local programming than any other station in America at the time. The challenger was also critical of the combination of the Herald-Traveler newspaper and WHDH AM-FM-TV. Herald-Traveler Corporation fought the decision in court, but lost its battle in 1972; and Boston Broadcasters was awarded a full license. During the final months of its operation, WHDH-TV was court-ordered to sign off daily at 1:00 A.M. so that WCVB-TV could test its equipment. WHDH-TV declined to sell its transmitter and tower to the new WCVB-TV, which subsequently leased space on WBZ-TV's tower. Since WHDH would not sell its studio building and equipment at 50 Morrissey Boulevard to WCVB, BBI was forced to remodel and move into a former International truck dealership in Needham. The WHDH-TV call letters were subsequently reassigned to channel 7 almost 18 years later to the day of their last use, on Monday, 12 March 1990, where they remain to this day. News operation WHDH's newscasts were known as "WHDH-TV News." This title was used until March 18, 1972, when the station signed off for the last time and was replaced by WCVB.
