re : Campbell Sports

[Mark Shneyder <mshbc@bu.edu>]

WPLM became Bruins' flagship in 1981 because Bruins' president at the
time, Paul Mooney, was the partner in Campbell's network. Also, Mooney's
daughter worked at WPLM. In a public sector, this would have been called
a 'sweetheart deal'.
                   
As far as the Red Sox contract goes, his $1 million dollar check to the
Yawkee crowd in 1982 was like winning a lottery after really disastarous
network experience with financially troubled WITS AM 1510.
