About 1974, WSBK was the first Boston television station to air a weekly viewer response program. Within five years, WLVI/Channel 56 responded to Channel 38's "Ask the Manager" with "Meet the Manager," presented by general manager Steven Bell and promotion manager Liz Wrublin. In contrast to the more freewheeling style of "Ask the Manager" on WSBK, "Meet the Manager" conducted itself with a more serious tone.
In 1981, Mr. Bell left WLVI to manage KTLA in Los Angeles where he worked for 11 years.
The excerpts seen here are from a fall 1980 broadcast. At the end is a snippet of Channel 56's daily "Newscene" news summary, presented by Maurice Lewis. The station launched a full-service, hour-long news broadcast in 1984. It lasted until 2006 when the station was subsumed into Sunbeam's WHDH-TV operation.
