Is anyone aware of Curt Gowdy once owning WCCM-AM/WCGY-AM, KOWB-AM/KCGY-FM, WEAT-AM-FM, and WBBX-AM?
Does anyone know why Curt Gowdy sold his radio stations?
Does anyone know which Summer and Winter Olympics Curt Gowdy did for ABC Sports, which ones he called with Jim McKay, and if he was present during the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Summer Games in Munich?

I may be old but, I don't really remember Gowdy working for ABC. I thought he was strictly on NBC.

Per Wikipedia:


Early ABC Sports career

Gowdy had numerous network assignments, first for ABC-TV in 1960, where he covered the first five seasons of the American Football League with broadcast partner Paul Christman.


Radio stations

In 1963, Gowdy purchased radio stations 800/WCCM and 93.7/WCCM-FM in Lawrence, Massachusetts, later changing the FM station's call letters to WCGY to somewhat match his name. Gowdy also owned several radio stations in Wyoming, including KOWB and KCGY in Laramie. He sold his broadcast interests in Massachusetts in 1994 and his Wyoming stations in 2002. He also owned 850/WEAT & WEAT-FM in West Palm Beach, Florida, and WBBX(AM) in New Hampshire. The year away from broadcasting the Red Sox in 1957 awakened him to the fact that he might need an alternate way of making of living, leading to his interest in station ownership.

Back on January 1, 1977 when Rick Leach & the Michigan Wolverines were playing the USC Trojans (which Michigan lost 14 - 6), Curt Gowdy during the halftime activities, mentioned about Sanford, Michigan (where I live) & I think Curt mentioned about Greensburg, Pennsylvania (where my late aunts live). ESPN Classic back then took off the halftime show back then. I was 11 years old in 1977. Does anybody know about this??
