Early Red Sox and Braves TV history

[Maureen Carney]

I believe that Westinghouse had planned WBZ for a Fall 1947 start, but there were construction problems with 1170 SFR, and then they wanted to wait for the coaxial cable to reach Boston so they could have network service.

Donna was there a reason Boston was so late getting TV compared to the
other major markets? Most major cities had at least one station by
1947 but Boston had to wait until 1948.
