Baseball Rights $$$, 1961
There is a great enlargeable graph in this story that shows, team by team, the amount they were paid for TV and Radio broadcast rights for the season. Interestingly, WGN did all the Cubs & Sox games in color and WLW-T did a lot of color too. The figures will amaze you. Thanks to Kevin Vahey for this very interesting story.

A lot has changed on the television side of baseball since 1961.
WGN, Wrigley Field, Cubs were all under a single owner…

I remember the Chicago White Sox games being in B&W…
