Wow. The early morning lineups on the ABC stations were deplorable. The Providence one was the only one with any news!

Look again at WCVB-5's listings. They had an hour of news from 6 to 7 am.

The 'news for the deaf' segments, IIRC, were 5 minute summaries of the news which featured someone superimposed on the screen, perhaps inside an oval, translating what the anchor is reading into sign language.

Think Garrett Morris from SNL - only quieter! ;D

But yes, WCVB had an hour of local news in the morning. Good Morning America premiered the following year (1975).
