The NEWSE7EN clue was no match for the Best and Brightest of btvn it seems.  While many guesses in the right direction were made by iWatch, Erik Davis, and AJ Buruca, only Owen Two nailed it down to a specific newscast.  Perhaps this clue will keep everyone guessing until the next edition of Media Memories is unleashed on Tuesday?

Media Memories Clue #1

Published by admin on January 27, 2011. 4 Comments

Media Memories is the second in a series of new segments from btvn.  Media Memories are a look into the history of Boston television.  Each Memory begins with a clue, which will be posted a few days prior to the actual editorial.  Readers will have the opportunity to leave their guesses as to what the clue is in the comments section, and the winner will be announced in time for the next clue.  Media Memories takes its roots from Curbside Classics over at TheTruthAboutCars.com, a truly interesting view into the world of the cars that prowl the streets of Eugene, Oregon.  Although different in subject matter, the two segments both provide an opportunity to see into the products that shaped the course of history for their respective industries.

Welcome to the first of many Media Memories segments.  Above the introduction, you may find the first clue.  If you have any guesses as to which broadcast it may have come from, please leave them in the comments section.  The winner will be mentioned in the next Media Memories Clue.  Good luck!
