If WRKO had the rights to both the Sox and the Celtics, as it apparently 
did in 1986, it would have made sense to bump one of the teams to the 
co-owned FM in case of a conflict. It was less common then to see sports 
conflicts get bumped to a non-co-owned signal, as has become fairly 
normal now.

Did RKO still own WRKO/WROR that late, or had the stations already ended 
up in new hands?
