I was perusing http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~mleach/radio/warp/1968.html and came across this interesting item from September of 1968:
"WSB-AM will broadcast the entire 1968 World Series. The broadcast of a series of 15 computerized boxing matches will begin Monday at 9:05 pm, starting with the match of Carmen Basilio versus Marcel Cerday. The middleweight championship will be selected by the same miraculous machines that last year picked Rocky Marciano as the heavyweight champion of the world."
Are there any airchecks of these computerized boxing matches? How did they get a radio program out of it, given the state of computer technology in those days?
