It is not yet known if current WLVI owners Sunbeam Television will continue to air the revival.

Since Waterville Valley is considerd to be a resort town, and that many of it's people and / or visitors that are from Boston, their very own cable TV provider SkiSat Cable offers all TV stations out of Boston, Massachusetts which are not limited to WGBH-TV, WBZ-TV, WCVB-TV, WHDH_ ( TV ), WFXT, WSBK-TV, WLVI, and WBPX-TV, plus they get the NH stations which include WMUR-TV, New Hampshire Public Television, and WBIN-TV, and even 1 station from Portland, Maine which is WGME-TV.

Owned by Sunbeam Television, WHDH is a sister station to CW affiliate WLVI.

Currently, WBNX is the third-largest CW affiliate ( after Boston's WLVI and Phoenix's KASW ), in terms of market size, that is not a CW O & O ( not owned and operated by CBS Corporation ) or Tribune Broadcasting.

WLVI, digital channel 41, is a television station licensed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States which serves as the CW affiliate for the Boston, Massachusetts television market.

WLVI is owned by Sunbeam Television, and is a sister station to WHDH, Boston's NBC affiliate.

With the sale, WLVI changed its branding to CW 56, though the station is sometimes called New England's CW on-air.

The station is the second largest CW affiliate in terms of market size ( after WLVI / Boston ) that is not owned by CBS Corporation or Tribune Broadcasting, both of which contributed stations as charter affiliates of the network ( previously, these stations were respectively affiliated with UPN or The WB ).

Tribune Broadcasting announced on September 14, 2006 that it would sell WLVI-TV, Boston's The CW affiliate, to Sunbeam Television for $ 117. 3 million, after much speculation that Sunbeam would buy WLVI.

WLVI, Boston's WB affiliate, was announced as Boston's CW affiliate, leaving WSBK without an affiliation.

The CW began operations on September 18, 2006, and WLVI became known as 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. 3 million.

Beginning in 1972 a station in the Kaiser Broadcasting ( later Field Communications ) chain, WKBG ( Channel 56 ; WLVI after the Boston Globe sold their share back to Kaiser in 1975 ) aired its collection of Godzilla movies-one per week at 4 pm on Saturday under the title, The 4 O ' Clock Movie.

On December 11, 2008, during its 5: 00 p. m. newscast, WBZ became the fourth station ( behind WCVB, WHDH and WLVI ) to broadcast news in high definition.

That October, News Corporation purchased WXNE, with plans to make the station Boston's affiliate for its new network, Fox, which had been unable to secure affiliation with WSBK or WLVI.

Locally, however, the station was still third ( though not as distant as the CBN or early Fox days ), behind WSBK and WLVI.

This newscast generally trailed both WLVI and, starting in 1996, an in-house newscast on WFXT ; on October 4, 1998, WSBK discontinued UPN 38 Prime News in order to refocus the station on sports and entertainment, though NECN continued to produce news updates within Bruins telecasts during the 1998-1999 season.

WLVI continued use of the Field Communications-style station branding and logo for nearly a decade after Gannett acquired the station.

In 1999, WLVI began a one-year stint as the flagship station of the Boston Red Sox, with games produced by an independent company, Jankowski Communications, headed by former CBS executive Gene Jankowski.

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.

With the ownership change, WLWC added a secondary affiliation with UPN, and became a sister station to Boston's UPN affiliate, WSBK-TV, which until then had doubled as the UPN affiliate for Providence / New Bedford and ( as with WLVI ) had long been carried on Rhode Island cable systems.

The call letters were then changed to the current WLVI-TV ( reflecting the Roman numeral for 56, LVI ) that May, and in 1977, Chicago-based Field Communications ( which had owned 22. 5 percent of Kaiser since 1972 ) purchased WLVI and the other Kaiser stations.

At midnight on January 14, 2012, the signals of WSVN along with sister stations WHDH and WLVI in Boston were pulled from DirecTV after talks to increase the retransmission fees paid to Sunbeam Television by a reported 300 % failed.

WSBK finally launched a local 10 p. m. newscast on October 25, 1993, by way of the WBZ-produced WBZ News 4 on TV 38, competing against both WLVI and a New England Cable News ( NECN )- produced program on WFXT ; this production left the air August 6, 1995, soon after the sale of WSBK to Paramount, as it was felt that the WBZ News 4 branding was incompatible with the then-new " UPN 38 " branding.

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 p. m. newscast.

In 1983, WLVI was sold to the Gannett Company as part of a liquidation of Field's television assets.

She rose to further prominence as Barbara Marshall in Boston, where she worked for a decade as an award-winning reporter for two Boston television stations, first for channel 56 WLVI and then for channel 4

This was because the WLVI and WTCN purchases left Gannett with two television stations over the Federal Communications Commission's seven-station limit in effect at the time.

Over the next few years, WFXT was unable to acquire the better programming and continued to only get shows that WSBK, WLVI, and the network affiliates passed on.

The new network signed 10-year affiliation agreements with most of Tribune's WB affiliates, including WLVI.

In January 1986, the weeknight INN broadcasts moved to WLVI, airing after their 10 p. m. news ; there, it only lasted one more year in the Boston market.

WLVI moved from its Dorchester studios to WHDH's facilities in downtown Boston.

At that point, master control of WCWN moved from WLVI to WRGB's facilities in Niskayuna, the station's administrative offices were closed, and Freedom began to maintain WCWN's website.

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.

WLVI has kept the song as the theme of the 2006 and 2007 revival.

* The 2006 show Candlepins For Dollars that aired on WLVI Channel 56 was not related to this format.

To this day WLVI staffers report that they still receive more e-mail and phone calls about Creature Double Feature than anything else.

For example, KIAH ( formerly KHWB ) in Houston was called " Houston's WB ," WLVI in Boston was called " Boston's WB ," KDAF in the Dallas / Fort Worth area of Texas was called " Dallas / Ft.

Stations included WLVI Boston and CKRD Red Deer.
