 In New York, the 1977 World Series was carried by two radio stations, WCBS and the Yankees' then flagship station, WMCA.WCMA simply carried the same CBS feed as did WCBS since separate radio broadcasts with the local announcers wouldn't begin until 1984.In 1979, CBS Radio, following the lead begun by ABC's television coverage in 1977, dropped the usage of the local broadcasters on play-by-play.
