1982 Red Sox TV Broadcasts?

[Robert Sanders]

A couple of questions for the wise members of this forum:

1. Which TV station broadcast Red Sox games in 1982?
2. Would anyone have an idea how I might go about finding an archive containing these broadcasts?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what station carried the majority of Red Sox games back in 1982.

But if I'm not mistaken there's only two Red Sox games from the 1982 season available (5/22/82 vs Oakland & 6/17/82 vs Cleveland) in the sports dvd collecting hobby.
I know the Oakland game is an NBC broadcast, but not sure about the Cleveland game.

My best recollections tell me it was WSBK-TV38 in Brighton (Boston) Mass. and the announcers at that time were Ned Martin and former Sox catcher Bob Montgomery.

This was one year before I obtained my first color TV, so the rabbit ears were still in high demand........

Thanks Sonny, Obpercent1 and Eisenreich8, for your quick and helpful information. I am very much a newbie when it comes to sports DVDs. I am trying to track down road broadcasts of as many different games as possible from the 1982 Red Sox season. Therefore the existence of the 6/17/82 vs Cleveland broadcast really peaks my interest. Where should I go to try and track down a copy?
