WGBH Boston Compilation/History

This is a video I wanted to make on showing the oldest and newer versions of the WGBH Boston logo!
I deemed it is one of the oldest Television logos out there that started in 1971!
Enjoy the Compilation/History of WGBH Boston!

Line 2: But none of us have even shown any signs of illness in the time span of us being here. Line 3: Oh, calm down James. We're not going to be stuck here forever. Line 4: (groan in annoyance) Line 5: Well I think in the meantime we should all get some rest. Its getting dark now and I don't think we're ever going to find out who has the disease anytime soon. Line 6: Don't worry, I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt told them about the predicament that we're in and gave them a spare shed to sleep at for the night. Line 7: (yawn) We still stuck in here. Line 8: (sighs) Figures. I'm starting to wonder if there's even a disease floating around here at all. Line 9: Well thats good to know. Line 10: It was just a little misunderstanding. Line 11: Well, now that that's all over, I think I'm going to go and stare at a freight car for a few hours and rethink everything. Line 12: Later. Second episode lines: Line 1: I'm still wondering how its legal for a train to marry an animal. Line 2: Yeah, but do you ever wonder what might happen if the police found out? Line 3: But you just said that it was morning. Line 4: You're a train, you can't pee! Line 5: But we're trains, we can't eat. Line 6: Holy cow! Wait did I just make a pun?

copied from ChatGPT: "WGBH Boston is a public broadcasting station founded in 1951 based in Boston, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest and most influential producers of public television and radio content in the United States. WGBH produces a variety of popular and award-winning programs for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), including shows like "Frontline," "Nova," "Masterpiece," and "Arthur." The station also creates content for National Public Radio (NPR). WGBH is known for its high-quality educational, cultural, and informational programming."

I hated, for the most part having to watch PBS as a kid. Not because of the shows, but because you become more and more anxious every miniute that goes by. All the while, knowing that this logo was about to jump at your face in the end. As a teen, I thought that that PBS acknowledged how scary the logo was, and BOY WAS I WRONG, IT GOT WORSE!
