Hell, we can do that anytime." But every game between the teams is highly anticipated. "You could wake up both teams at three o'clock in the morning and tell 'em we're playing on Spy Pond in Arlington, and they'd be there," BU coach Jack Parker once said. BU and BC have played at least once

292-484: A content sharing agreement with CBS owned-and-operated station WBZ-TV (channel 4).

584-415: A much shorter wavelength, and thus requires a shorter antenna, but also higher power. North American stations can go up to 5000 kW ERP for video and 500 kW audio, or 1000 kW digital. Low channels travel further than high ones at the same power, but UHF does not suffer from as much electromagnetic interference and background "noise" as VHF, making it much more desirable for TV. Despite this, in

657-562: A multi-market realignment, the programming and call signs of WUTF and sister station WUNI were swapped: WUTF and its UniMás programming moved to the Entravision-owned facility using digital channel 29 and virtual channel 27, while Univision's digital channel 27 and virtual channel 66 facility became the new home of WUNI. On November 30, 2022, it was announced that WUNI would convert to ATSC 3.0. WUNI presently broadcasts 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with

876-472: A sizable number of viewers, the station struggled to retain them for long periods of time, and by mid-1986, the station's advertising sales were insufficient to ensure the station's long-term viability; additionally, attempts to broaden the station's programming to include shows on sports and other topics proved unsuccessful. Consequently, WVJV was sold to the Home Shopping Network later that year, with

949-451: A tournament record. BU defeated Lowell 1–0, with goaltender Kieran Millan earning tournament MVP honors with the shutout. BU was ranked #1 in the country for most of the season, thanks in part to non-conference victories over powerhouses such as Michigan, North Dakota, Michigan State and Denver. But Northeastern held the top spot in Hockey East play for most of 2008–09, thanks to a better conference record. BU finally overtook Northeastern on

To avoid concentration of media ownership of television stations, government regulations in most countries generally limit the ownership of television stations by television networks or other media operators, but these regulations vary considerably. Some countries have set up nationwide television networks, in which individual television stations act as mere repeaters of nationwide programs . In those countries,

1241-470: Is broadcast via terrestrial radio waves. A group of television stations with common ownership or affiliation are known as a TV network and an individual station within the network is referred to as O&O or affiliate , respectively.

To keep pace with technology United States television stations have been replacing operators with broadcast automation systems to increase profits in recent years. Some stations (known as repeaters or translators ) only simulcast another, usually

1533-508: The HubFlix banner. Like other "CityVision" stations, the station also obtained live sports rights specifically Boston University ice hockey games (previously held by WABU/WBPX ), as well as the annual Beanpot tournament. Plans were set to convert the entire chain of USAB stations to the "CityVision" format, but at the end of 2000, USA Broadcasting scrapped all plans and put all its stations up for sale with WHUB reverting to HSN affiliation in

In North America , full-power stations on band I (channels 2 to 6) are generally limited to 100 kW analog video ( VSB ) and 10 kW analog audio ( FM ), or 45 kW digital ( 8VSB ) ERP. Stations on band III (channels 7 to 13) can go up by 5 dB to 316 kW video, 31.6 kW audio, or 160 kW digital. Low-VHF stations are often subject to long-distance reception just as with FM. There are no stations on Channel 1 . UHF , by comparison, has

1825-459: The must-carry rule requiring cable systems to carry the station, many cable systems freely chose to carry WVJV instead of VH1 . WVJV was also the first station in the Boston area to transmit in stereo . Garabedian had hoped to launch a national over-the-air music video network (predating the existence of The Box ) to compete against MTV, if WVJV had succeeded. However, although channel 66 received

1898-615: The "CityVision" banner. After switching stations in Miami , Atlanta , and Dallas–Fort Worth , this format was implemented in Boston on Channel 66 as WHUB-TV (from Boston's nickname "The Hub"), with the "Hub 66" branding and a main slogan echoing The Standells ' " Dirty Water " ("Ahhh, Boston you're our home").

BU defeated Nebraska-Omaha 9–2 in the first round of the NCAAs, but suffered a 5–0 loss to BC in the regional final. The 2006 squad was led by seniors such as John Laliberte and captains Brad Zancanaro and David Van der Gulik, and received many contributions from underclassmen such as junior goalie John Curry and sophomore forward Pete MacArthur. The season

2117-505: The ECAC from 1961 to 1984, winning six regular-season titles and five tournament championships. BU has competed in the Hockey East conference since the 1984–85 season, winning nine ten-season titles and eight tournament championships.

This highly anticipated single-elimination tournament

2190-688: The ECAC-based Harvard in a nonconference game early in the season. BU, BC, Northeastern and Harvard formerly played their home games in the Boston Arena , the site of the first Beanpot in 1952 and the current home of Northeastern.

2409-544: The Hockey East regular season, and once each in the Beanpot, Hockey East tournament, and NCAA tournament. At every game, regular season and playoffs, the spirited student sections – BU's nicknamed the Dog Pound and BC's the Superfans – are seated in proximity to each other and hurl insults and chants back and forth. BU and BC ratcheted up their rivalry on Jan. 8, 2010, when they played each other at Fenway Park in front of 38,000 fans,

2482-406: The Hockey East tournament semifinals. With a 19–17–4 record, BU was not ranked high enough to make the NCAA Tournament.

The team won its 28th total and third consecutive Beanpot tournament title, defeating rival Boston College in overtime. At the end of the season, BU continued their surge for

2555-647: The JSA, master control and some internal operations of WUNI are based at WUTF's studios on 4th Avenue in Needham . The station first signed on the air on February 12, 1985, as WVJV-TV (branded as "V-66, the Beat of Boston"), maintaining a music video format at a time when they were a major part of the American culture (this was just four years after MTV launched in August 1981). The station

2628-433: The Terriers overall. BU lost six of its first eight games, and the team finished with an 18–17–3 record that was not good enough to secure a berth in the NCAA tournament. The season's second half was better than the first, with BU defeating Boston College in a unique game played outdoors at Fenway Park, one of nine wins in a span of 12 games. But the Terriers lost to BC in the title game of the Beanpot tournament and to Maine in

2701-518: The Terriers taking the '72 title with a 4–0 win. Between the years 1967 and 1977, Boston University and Cornell won the ECAC crown five times each.

After scoring three goals in the first several minutes of play, BU went on to win 6–3. Red Hot Hockey returned to Madison Square Garden on November 28, 2009, with

2774-627: The U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking another large portion of this band (channels 52 to 69) away, in contrast to the rest of the world, which has been taking VHF instead. This means that some stations left on VHF are harder to receive after the analog shutdown . Since at least 1974, there are no stations on channel 37 in North America for radio astronomy purposes. Most television stations are commercial broadcasting enterprises which are structured in

2847-532: The United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station moved its digital signal from its pre-transition UHF channel 23 to channel 27, using virtual channel 66.

"The best thing that ever happened to BU hockey

2993-524: The final day of the season, clinching the Hockey East regular season title by one point with a 3–0 victory at home over Providence.

A transmitter/studio link (TSL) may also send telemetry back to the station, but this may be embedded in subcarriers of

3504-666: The historic Beanpot tournament featuring the four major Boston collegiate hockey teams. BU played in the Eastern College Athletic Conference ( ECAC ) from 1961 to 1984, winning five tournament championships; and has since competed in the Hockey East Association, winning seven tournament titles.

3577-620: The hour from 7 to 9 a.m. The station used a modified version of the Despierta América logo branding, while using an alteration of the graphics and music package used on the 6 p.m. newscast. While Despierta Boston was relatively successful, economic problems led to Entravision discontinuing the morning updates in early 2009. The station also laid off Eduardo Guerrero (once again resulting in Sara Suarez anchoring solo) and 10-year veteran sports journalist Omar Cabrera. On July 14, 2007,

3650-521: The interim period to cut costs. Disney / ABC and Univision Communications were both in the running to become the owner of WHUB with Disney planning on aligning with Hearst -owned ABC affiliate WCVB-TV ; however, Univision outbid them in a close race, with plans immediately announced to make the station (and all but three USAB stations) a charter affiliate of what would become Telefutura (originally referred to as Univision Duo and later rebranded as UniMás in 2013); The station's five-month run made it one of

4380-696: The shortest-run independent-formatted stations in the country (a few 1950s UHF independent stations, such as the three-month-long WBES-TV , had shorter). AT&T Broadband obtained some of WHUB's programming for its AT&T 3 channel including the 2001 Beanpot, (which WHUB never telecast after reverting to HSN; the tournament has since moved to NESN ); AT&T 3 would be replaced by CN8 New England in 2003 which, itself, would shut down in January 2009. To reflect its pending affiliation change, channel 66 changed call letters to WFUB (likely standing for "Telefutura Boston") in November 2001. However, just one month later,

4453-439: The station began airing the weekend edition of then-Univision-owned San Juan, Puerto Rico , station WLII 's newscast Las Noticias Univision ; this was subsequently dropped.

The Terriers finished 26–10–4, winning the Beanpot, Hockey East regular season title, the Hockey East tournament championship, and a first-round game in the NCAA tournament. BU won hard-fought games against rival Boston College in
