At the time, WNAC radio and TV were carrying Braves games.  I don't know how many 
games they broadcast, but they did at least some.  I suppose they still could have shown 
Braves games from Milwaukee, but I don't know why the Boston audience would be 
interested.

Which reminds me, I seem to remember something about a lawsuit when the Braves moved 
from Milwaukee to Atlanta.  A judge in Wisconsin issued an injunction ordering them to play 
in Milwaukee, but since they were by then in Atlanta, it couldn't be enforced.  I think they 
may also have arranged to have a Georgia judge order them to play in Atlanta, just for good 
measure.  There may have been some appellate proceedings in Wisconsin, but I don't know 
what they were.
