Game 3 between the Dodgers and the Phillies, also known as Black Friday.

I've lived in Michigan but have never been to Ludington.
How stable would those analog signals from Green Bay have been
after skipping across Lake Michigan?

I've lived in Michigan but have never been to Ludington.
How stable would those analog signals from Green Bay have been
after skipping across Lake Michigan?

Stable enough to remain on cable there until 2009! Ludington's been kind of an odd area when it came to cable carriage. Until the early 1990s, there were more Wisconsin signals seen on cable than Michigan signals (the balance changed when WGKI first signed on [WKBD was never carried in Ludington as far as I know]). More recently, Ludington missed out on most of the WB's run and the first eight years of the CW as then-Bresnan never picked up a WB affiliate after WGN dropped the network on their superstation feed. CW was finally added in 2014, via the Charter-owned CW+ affiliate. For those wondering, UPN and then MNT was (and still is) provided via WXSP.

Who did the baseball games for NBC?

Jim Simpson and Maury Wills did the 3.00 game while Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek did the late one
