History

Historical Context

After NBC aired baseball’s first nationally televised All-Star Game in 1952, the network began using free over-air broadcasts to expand the sport’s audience. That model showed how televised exposure could grow fan bases, a lesson now applied by Jacque Harms and CW Nebraska, which offer ten free Royals games on KOLN, KSNB and KNOP.
