    Still no ABC posting?  They were the first network to unveil their fall
    schedule.

    RE: 166.28 (didn't want to flood FRasier with this)
    
    HUH? Was my response too.  It appears to be half an announcement - I
    sure hope there will be more detail coming out today.

109.5Channel 7 must change now, tooMAGEE::GIBSONSat Jul 16 1994 00:445
    The change takes effect in September. No, the FCC does nt allow two
    CBS affiliates in the same market. Channel 7 will have to decide which
    affiliation to make (NBC or FOX or ...).

  Liz Walker announced the deal on WBZ news last night. CBS has purchased WBZ
from Westinghouse and they will switch to CBS programming. 

  The buzz around town is that after the current CBS affiliate Ch 7 decides
between NBC and FOX, the current FOX affiliate Ch 25 will pick up the other
one.

  Except for WBZ going to CBS, the rest is just speculation, There are a number
of other stations that could get into the bidding and there's the upcoming
Paramount network that could figure into the situation. 

  Other big independents in the Boston area include TV-38 which runs movies and
splits the Bruins and Red Sox games with NESN, and TV-56 which shows a lot of
syndicated programs.

    Wow!!! This will take some getting used to. All my life (33 years) I've
    lived in the Boston area and as far back as I can remember the
    channel/network affiliations have been 4/NBC, 5/ABC, and 7/CBS.

    The same type of switch is happening in Philadelphia. WHat makes this
    switch in Philadelphia even stranger is that the former CBS affiliate
    is (was) owned and operated by CBS. I think it will all take a little
    bit of getting used to.

    Patty,
    
    You probably don't remember but 5/ABC and 7/CBS switch when I was a kid
    and we are about the same age.

    There seems to be a ratings war developing between NBC and ABC. After
    NBC moved Frasier to Tuesday nights, ABC countered by moving
    Roseanne to Wednesday nights and putting Home Improvement opposite
    Frasier. Apparently you're going to have go searching for your
    favorite shows until the networks realize that juggling time slots
    is a kiss of death...

    Well, my take is watch one during the new season, catch the other
    during summer reruns.  Nielson never called me, so they won't know
    which one I "support".
