Local TV Info
Originally written by garretta
Here's the National League television information for 1963. Sponsors and broadcasters are the same as radio unless otherwise noted.
Cubs: All eighty-one home games will be broadcast in color by WGN-TV, along with an undetermined number of road black-and-white games. Jack Brickhouse and Vince Lloyd will call the action. Sponsors include Hamm's Beer, Phillips Petroleum, and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco. WGN-TV will also produce color feeds of their games for visiting teams that wish to broadcast them. CBS will also televise from Wrigley Field.
(According to a sidebar article, the beginning of baseball season was the best time of the year for color TV sales in Chicago at this time, thanks to the color telecasts of the White Sox and Cubs.)
Reds: WLWT-TV will head a six-station network in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Thirty road games and twenty-three home games are scheduled, with the home games to be telecast in color. Ed Kelly and Frank McCormick will describe the action. Sponsors include Hudepohl Brewing Company, Brown and Williamson Tobacco, and Sohio. NBC will also televise from Crosley Field.
Colt .45's: KTVT Dallas-Fort Worth is the flagship station of a six-station network covering Texas and Louisiana, The Houston affiliate is KTRK-TV. Fourteen road games will be televised. Guy Savage will join Gene Elston and Lowell Passe in the booth.
(Why wouldn't KTRK produce the games? I know that KTVT became a superstation in the Southwest years later, but how big were they in 1963?)
Dodgers: KTTV (Channel 11) will televise the team's nine road games in San Francisco. NBC will also televise from Dodger Stadium.
Braves: Home games will be televised for the first time as part of a twenty-six game package. Five Saturday home games will join twenty-one road games, a major increase from last year's fifteen total games. WTMJ-TV will be the flagship of a three-station network. Mike Walden and Blaine Walsh will be the broadcasters, with Blatz Beer serving as a sponsor. NBC will also televise from County Stadium.
Mets: WOR-TV and a four-station network in New York State will televise 128 games, five fewer than last but more than any other Major League team as of press time. The breakdown is seventy-six home games, fifty-two road games, and three exhibition games.
Phillies: Telecasts will increase from fifty-six to sixty over a four-station Pennsylvania network headed by WFIL-TV. Forty-four of the telecasts will be on weekends. CBS will also televise from Connie Mack Stadium.
Pirates: Thirty-three road games will be televised by KDKA-TV (Channel 2) and a five-station network in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. NBC will also televise from Forbes Field.
In a related story, WSTV (Channel 9) in Steubenville, Ohio (now known as WTOV) has dropped Pirate telecasts in favor of network reruns due to popular demand. KDKA-TV can be seen in Steubenville, and WTRF-TV (Channel 7) in Wheeling has been added. WSTV-AM is still an affiliate of the Indians (which may be another reason why the Pirates were dropped from television.) In later years, WTOV would return to the Pirates as their Steubenville-Wheeling affiliate.
Giants: KTVU-TV will televise two exhibition games with the Indians and all nine games against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. NBC will also televise from Candlestick Park.
Cardinals: KSD-TV will televise twenty-one road games, partially sponsored by Shell Oil. CBS will also televise from Busch Memorial Stadium
Here's the American League television story for 1963. Announcers and sponsors are the same as on radio unless otherwise noted.
Orioles: WBAL-TV is the flagship of a three-station network in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Two exhibition games and fifty regular-season games (six home, forty-four away) will be carried. R.J. Reynolds will be a partial sponsor. CBS will also televise from Memorial Stadium.
Red Sox: WHDH-TV will head a six-station network in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Thirty-three home games and twenty-one road games will be televised.
White Sox: WGN-TV will once again televise all home games in color. Eighteen road telecasts are being planned for, but nothing has been finalized at press time, Sponsors include Hamm's Beer, R.J. Reynolds, and Phillips Petroleum. NBC will also televise from Comiskey Park.
Indians: The Tribe has reduced their number of telecasts from fifty-six last year to fifty this year. WJW-TV will carry fifty games all on weekends (twenty-four home, twenty-six road). Partial sponsors include Sugardale Meats and Sohio. In addition to calling games with Ken Coleman, Bob Neal will host the pregame shows for televised games. NBC will also televise from Municipal Stadium.
Tigers: WJBK-TV will be the flagship of an eight-station network in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Forty-one games will be televised, the same number as last year. Thirty-one will be road games and ten will be home games.

Angels: KHJ-TV will televise twenty-six road games (twenty regular-season, six exhibition).
Twins: WTCN-TV is the flagship of a fourteen-station network covering Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Fifty games will be televised, forty-six of them road games. Partial sponsors include R.J. Reynolds, Maxwell House Coffee, and American Bakeries.
Yankees: WPIX-TV will televise Yankees games for the twelfth consecutive year. It will televise 126 regular-season games: eighty-one at home, forty-five on the road. At press time, the team was negotiating for a New York State and New England regional network, but nothing was finalized. CBS will also televise from Yankee Stadium.
Senators: WTOP-TV will carry thirty games, the same amount as last year. Nineteen will be road games, eleven will be home games. Partial sponsors include R.J, Reynolds and General Mills.
National TV Info
CBS: Will televise games on twenty-five Saturdays and twenty-two Sundays from the parks indicated. Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese are your announcers. Sponsors include Falstaff Beer, Simoniz Car Care, Phillip Morris, General Mills, Aqua Velva, Colgate-Palmolive, Bristol-Myers, Texaco, Vaseline Hair Tonic, and Carter Products. There will be two games televised each weekend from the same park. Coverage begins April 13 at 1:45 PM Eastern when the Yankees host the Orioles. There will be no Saturday coverage on May 18 (Angels-Yankees was rained out) and no Sunday coverage on August 18. Sunday coverage for the year ends September 8 due to NFL football.
(Note: According to our research, CBS joined the September 14 Dodgers-Phillies game at 3:30 PM Eastern. We're not sure at the moment whether that was the start time of the game or whether CBS joined it in progress.)
NBC: Will televise on twenty-four Saturdays and twenty-four Sundays from the parks indicated. Joe Garagiola and Bob Wolff will call the action. Sponsors signed at press time are Humble Oil, P. Lorillard, and The Hartford Insurance Group. Under a separate package, NBC will also televise the World Series and the All-Star Game, which is back to being played once after being played twice in each of the last four years. Sponsors are Gillette and Chrysler Corporation. (If I'm not mistaken, the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports branding had been dropped by now.)
Coverage begins on Saturday, April 13 at 1:30 PM Eastern, when the Indians host the Tigers. Games will sometimes (but not always) be televised from the same park on both Saturday and Sunday of the same weekend, There will be no Saturday coverage on July 13 (Tigers-White Sox was rained out), and there will be no coverage at all the weekend of September 7 and 8. (If I had to guess, I'd say it was because of tennis at Forest Hills.)
The All-Star Game will come to us from Municipal Stadium in Cleveland on Tuesday, July 13. Airtime is at 12:45 PM Eastern, with Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola describing the action. Bob Neal and George Bryson will call the game for NBC Radio.
The World Series will begin at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, October 2, as the American League champion Yankees host the National League champion Dodgers. First pitch is scheduled for 1PM Eastern. Game 2 will follow the next day (Thursday, October 3). also at 1PM Eastern. The scene shifts to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for Game 3 on Saturday, October 5, with first pitch at 4PM Eastern, Game 4 will wrap things up on Sunday, October 6, with first pitch again at 4PM Eastern. Mel Allen (voice of the Yankees) and Vin Scully (voice of the Dodgers) will call the action on television; Ernie Harwell and Joe Garagiola will do the same for NBC Radio. Scully, as the voice of the victorious Dodgers, will host the trophy presentation. Garagiola will also host the pregame show on television with Bob Wolff.
WPIX-TV (the Yankees' flagship station) and KTTV-TV (the Dodgers' flagship station) joined the NBC broadcast.
