WUNI, virtual channel 27 (UHF digital channel 29), is a Univision-affiliated television station serving Boston, Massachusetts, United States that is licensed to Worcester. The station is owned by Entravision Communications Corporation; Entravision also operates UniMás owned-and-operated station WUTF-DT (channel 66) under a management agreement with owner Univision Communications. The two stations share studios on 4th Avenue in Needham, and its transmitter is located near Shrewsbury.
The station first signed on the air on January 1, 1970 as WSMW-TV, an independent station that featured English-language general entertainment programs including old movies (including the whole series of Abbott and Costello movies and the Bowery Boys/Dead-End Kids movies starring Huntz Hall), cartoons, religious shows (including the Jacob Brothers and The PTL Club), a cooking show (Cooking with Bernard), science fiction shows (such as Gerry Anderson's UFO), dramas (including Maverick and Thriller), as well as sitcoms (including The Phil Silvers Show and Petticoat Junction). Though WSMW-TV was within the Boston market, it was far enough from Boston itself that the station was able to air some of the same shows as the Boston stations, in a similar situation to WMUR-TV (channel 9), the ABC affiliate in Manchester, New Hampshire. The station's call letters stood for State Mutual (Insurance Co.) in Worcester, the corporate owner of the station.
