TV Money Deepens Gap Between Yankees and Senators
A Television Age survey shows the Yankees worth 1.3 million in TV and radio rights for 1966 while the Senators register about 300 thousand. Total major league radio TV revenue reaches 20.6 million with NBC contributing 6 million plus 3.75 million for World Series All-Star rights. The piece warns that TV driven scheduling and in‑park tech threaten traditional attendance as baseball risks becoming a pure TV product.
