1967 World Series



The 1967 World Series was broadcast by both WCOP and WHDH radio, both
using the same NBC feed that includued Red Sox broadcaster Ken Coleman.
WHDH radio produced their own pre and postgame show.  As a matter of
fact "The Impossible Dream" documentary record about the '67 sox was
first broadcast as a world series pre-game show on WHDH radio. Also,
believe it or not, both WBZ-TV and WHDH-TV both carried the NBC feed of
the game, with Ned Martin and Mel Parnell doing the pre and post game on
WHDH-TV. I'm sure it went that way because of NBC having the national
rights and WHDH having the local rights. It was a crazy arrangement, but
there was nothing ordinary about the Red Sox in that memorable year.
