With The ID Junkie previously updating WFXT, I'll be updating the rest of Boston (Well, except WLVI. Since their only change recently is their 10:00 newscast is now simulcast on WHDH and really nothing else has been found, I won't really be touching them.)
First is WBZ. This update includes a couple more mid 80s opens, more of the 2013 O&O pack, and the 2016 O&O pack.
