You're correct. I've been saying and using
PBS in my listings for so long that I forget
sometimes that it was NET prior to the fall
of 1970. Thanks for correcting me on that.
 
Was that Braves-Mets telecast on WSOC a NBC network game, or was it on the Braves TV network (back then via WSB-TV)?
 
Braves Network via WSB, Milo Hamilton and
Ernie Johnson doing the play-by-play. In
the Carolina-Tennessee edition, the game
was also carried on WFBC (now WYFF)/4
Greenville, SC (NBC) and WBIR/10 Knoxville
(then-CBS). IIRC, WRCB/3 Chattanooga and
WMAZ/13 Macon were also part of the Braves
network.
 
The interesting thing is WHKY/14/Hickory had actual programing, some interesting, even though its coverage area was very limited at that time. Now, WHKY has a much expanded signal, "must carry" on all Charlotte metro area cable systems and Dish and Direct and absolutely god-awful programing---shopping and horrible local "religious" programing, plus their unbelieveably funny local news programs!!!

And WSM Nashville.
 
By 1973 WSIX/8 (now WKRN/2) was carrying
the Braves in Nashville. WAPI (WVTM)/13
carried them in Birmingham, and
I remember that by about 1974 or '75 the
Braves network had expanded to include
WFMY/2 Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point
and WRAL/5 Raleigh/Durham.
