1st ID (1972)
Visuals: On a black background, we see a circular arrow resembling a stylized number 5 (the channel's number, circled by the rainbow-colored words "WCVB-TV" above and "BOSTON" below. It then fades into several of these "5"s in different colors bunched up together. A montage showing WCVB workers than plays out.
Technique: Crossfading.
Audio: An announcer says "This is WCVB-TV, the new channel 5!", followed by funk music.
Availability: Used as a sign-on ident around the time.
2nd ID (1976-1977)
Visuals: ABC's "Let Us Be the One!" ID. There's a byline with "WCVB-tv" on the left, the station's logo in the middle, and "Boston" on the right.
