WBZ and the Red Sox

[Kevin Vahey]

Tom Yawkey had a handshake deal with Robert "Beanie" Choate the owner
of the Herald that went back to 1946. The Braves ended up on WNAC
their last few years. When Yawkey decided to air road games he gave
Jim Britt first crack at it and Britt decided to stay with the Braves
and then Yawkey hired Yankees broadcaster Curt Gowdy.

Still it was the broadcaster not the team that built the network and
the Sox lost being on a blowtorch outside of New England ( though WTIC
filled the void to some extent )

Westinghouse certainly had a huge baseball interest at KDKA.
