The photo shown of Jack Williams and Liz walker is actually from the early 90's, and not the 1980's as it has been labeled. The Yellow and Gold graphics were used post 1991, after the station flipped to CBS, and remained used until the station decided to use the Blue, Yellow and Red "News4 New England" logo, similar to other CBS stations around the country at that time.

logos Information

where are all the logos? why were they taken away?

They were removed today or yesterday I think by A Man In Black because they're fair use... *shrugs* -- Saint-Paddy 21:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC) reply

Thats stupid, they were interesting. Steved1990 16:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC) reply

I think it's a bit superfluous to include CBS Newspath correspondents as WBZ on-air talent. While they appear from time to time, they're not exclusive to the station. Burghboy80 13:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC) reply

I don't thing (hype-free) is 'bz's slogan, they used it on two ads seen when the change was made and they do not even air anymore, I do not thik they even have a slogan as of now.

The use of images not in compliance with our fair-use criteria or our policy on nonfree content is not appropriate, and the images have been removed. Please do not restore them. — Moe ε 20:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Image:Wbz weather 2007.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I can't find his e-mail. All I want to say since he has not let up on the page raise for Legislator yet I had not heard that the Teachers, fireman, Policeman etc public works are going to do the same.

 I have not heard you or the media say they will donate their raise

to Charity. So why are you picking just on them and not the rest of the State Employees. Maybe because they have a Union.

 Those you interview have they ever donated their raise to Charity

when they where working. I would say no.

 I would say no to you also.
 Now you have interviewed and said they will not take the money is

bcause they have other sources of income Like Law Firms etc. So they would not heart at all over a 2.5 raise this year.

I have changed the heading "Personalities" and "Alumni" to "On-air staff". "Personalities" is industry jargon. It does not describe the position or the work. It is meaningless to readers unfamiliar with American broadcast industry jargon, and is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. "Staff" indicates that these people are being listed because they work for the station. An alumnus is some who used to attend a school or college. It does not mean a former employee.

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

1. WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
3. WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
4. Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). thanks Deconstructhis ( talk) 04:02, 19 October 2010 (UTC) reply

Get rid of the 2012 logo because this evening WBZ-TV released a newer one.So replace the 2012 logo with a 2014 logo now!!!!!! Or I will! GreenBoston ( talk) 02:08, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on WBZ-TV. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{ cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{ nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.boston.com/Boston/businessupdates/2011/12/wbz-unveils-new-look/SRhwvb2mvoI0mmNT4rnlJN/index.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{ Sourcecheck}}).
