[Gary's Ice Cream]

 Go here (http://www.ggninfo.com/TP2.htm) to see an old Ch 7 test pattern -
it says "Yankee Network"

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.
