Summary
WHDH-TV (Sunbeam Television)
enterprise legacy
WHDH-BOS — WHDH, channel 7 in Boston, Massachusetts. The station is owned by
Sunbeam Television and operates as the independent, news-heavy "7NEWS".
What it's used for
- Broadcaster corporate and newsroom networking: a single
/24(256 addresses), which is about what a station needs for its own infrastructure.
Notable
- An eyeball-facing brand, but not an eyeball network — this is a media company's own enterprise AS, not consumer access.
- Despite the low number, the ASN was registered to WHDH-TV only in 2014, so AS4505 is a reissued number rather than an early-internet allocation.
Interesting
- WHDH was Boston's CBS affiliate, then NBC's from 1995, and became an independent station on 1 January 2017 after NBC moved to its own O&O.
