Going, going, gone: Most local sports teams disappear from free TV

I remember watching the Bulls with my grandmother on Stafford Street in Dubuque, Iowa, on WGN-TV in 1976.

It was a Bulls team that still had Jerry Sloan, Norm Van Lier and Tom Boerwinkle, joined by Scott May, Mickey Johnson, Artis Gilmore and Cliff Pondexter. For some reason, I remember their point guard, Wilbur Holland.

You would have watched them on WGN-TV.

My grandmother viewed the game from a hospital bed since she had suffered from multiple sclerosis from a young age.
