didn't Turner also own TBS, so technically he never sold anything? is that the distinction? -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 10:36 10
- I thought about that, but isn't the same true of Steinbrenner with YES? -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:40 6
  - Yeah, but YES wasn't a pioneer. TBS and WGN were both long before YES, and I'm pretty sure NESN was the first team owned - musubi Jul 13, 10:42 1
    - WWOR might be in there as well. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:45
  - But not MSG Network in '89. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 10:41 3
    - yeah, it's the msg deal that was the groundreaker apparently. it's tough to sort this all out...nm - x Jul 13, 10:45 2
      - If it's that, people are being silly. It would be calling a social network five years from now the first one. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:45 1
        
        Indeed. It certainly feels like a stretch to credit George with that. - musubi Jul 13, 10:49
- Perhaps that's it, but if so, that's splitting quite a hair. - musubi Jul 13, 10:39 2
  - Or perhaps, selling the entire season so every game was aired? Did TBS go that far? - TFox Jul 13, 10:41 1
    - No, baseball actually prevented them from airing every game. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:44
