News Operation
WHDH's newscasts were known as "WHDH-TV News." This title was used until March 18, 1972, when the station signed off for the last time and was replaced by WCVB.
Among the anchors who worked there were John Day, Jack Hynes, John Henning, Chet Curtis, and in the final months before WHDH was forced off the air, a young reporter/anchor named Natalie Jacobson. Lead sports anchor was Don Gillis after 1962 (prior to that, sports scores were read by the news anchor) while weather reports were done first by Fred B. Cole, then Ray Miller, and finally Bob Copeland.
The station won several awards for news coverage, includingh multiple honors as "National News Film Station Of The Year" from the National Press Photographers Association.
When WCVB started up, nearly all of the former WHDH news staff was hired by that station.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“The village appeared to me a great news room.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
