Hard to say. As I remember, the games that were featured on these Saturday telecasts that season involved teams from the Mid-American Conference and there were stations in or near the cities that had a university in the M.A.C. who picked them up. WXIX, Channel 19, in Cincinati was one. WHIO, Channel 7, in Dayton may have been another. Jim McIntyre was still doing the Cincinnati Reds games on radio then and Arlin Bockhorn went on to do University of Dayton basketball games on radio; which he still does.
