NBC has been at odds with Ed Ansin for almost 30 years
They took the network away from him in Miami the late 80's (switch date
1-1-89)

Why change in Boston ?
1) NBC controls the station
2) Don't have to pay Ansin millions every year
3) They stick to him by devaluing WHDH-TV by hundreds (?) of millions
