Summary

This brief episode of NBC Monitor was recorded from WCOP in Boston on March 16, 1968. The host is Gene Rayburn with a report from NBC Newsman Peter Hackes. A WCOP newscast presented by announcer Jim Dixon. I suspect the primary NBC station in Boston, WBZ,  did not carry Monitor but did carry the hourly newscast from NBC. Thus WCOP aired Monitor and excerpted NBC commercials for a locally produced newscast.
