Shepard died in 1950, so maybe subsequently the name was changed, but 
not that I recall. Radio-- both AM and FM used the Yankee 
branding.  WNAC-TV went on the air the third week of June 1948, after 
WBZ had already gone on the air several weeks earlier.  But even in 
my old New England TV Guides, it never refers to Yankee- anything in 
their big display ads about TV-- just "WNAC-TV channel 7."  I'll see 
if I can find the corporate name used for TV in those early years.
