...television! This time it is a camera-toting bunch from WNEV, channel seven. We have been on WBZ and WCVB the Master of Ceremonies tells us. We are also getting our second, or maybe by this time our third, wind. Now, following Harvard's win on the ice, hockey fans drop by to boogie with...
EARLIER THIS MONTH, WNEV-TV, channel 7 in Boston began featuring a new anchor team on its 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts.
