Chronicle

Chronicle is a newsmagazine television series that is produced by two New England television stations owned by Hearst Television: WCVB-TV in Boston, Massachusetts and WMUR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire. The series premiered on WCVB on January 25, 1982, and the WMUR version premiered in September 2001. It airs weeknights at 7:30 p.m. on both stations, offering an informative lifestyle, cultural and news-related magazine format, most often covering a single topic within each broadcast. The introductions of each segment and of the program itself are broadcast live, while on-location material is pre-recorded. On October 25, 2006, the WCVB edition of Chronicle began broadcasting in high definition, converting all story segments to a letterboxed format. It is unknown as to whether the WMUR New Hampshire edition will follow suit. In addition, WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, also owned by Hearst, has produced a series of specials based on the Chronicle format since 2013.
