Thanks to the tipster who sent me this.
The Boston Herald’s Inside Track reports Sunbeam TV owner Ed Ansin might be making a move to buy Boston’s WB56, owned by Tribune, in case NBC decides to make a move and aquire a station of their own in the area and drop the NBC affiliation with WHDH. If Sunbeam were to buy WB56 it would create a similar situation like WTVJ and WB39.
Sunbeam TV are the owners of both WHDH in Boston and WSVN here in South Florida
