Re: Red Sox on WHDH?

[Donna Halper <dlh@donnahalper.com>]

And in 1948 when TV was still brand new in Boston, the Braves and the Red
Sox signed an agreement with *both* WBZ-TV and WNAC-TV.  They agreed to let
the games be broadcast for free (!)-- can you imagine that today-- during
1948, and they agreed to allow WBZ-TV to have first crack at the games
because WNAC-TV was not yet fully operational.  Once WNAC went on the air,
the agreement stated that WBZ and WNAC would split the games equally during
the remainder of the season. So if you vaguely recall a Red Sox game on
WNAC, you may be right-- in 1948, it was allowed if WBZ couldn't handle a
game due to other commitments...
