"Back for their fourth season together is the popular Yankee announcing team of Phil Rizzuto and Bill White. The games are heard on WPIX-TV, WMCA Radio, and a large network of television and radio in the northeast."

-1974 New York Yankees Press-TV-Radio Guide

"The Yankee broadcasting team for 1974 is the ever-popular trio of Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto and Bill White. Messer, a former Oriole and Colt broadcaster, is now in his seventh year in New York and is considered one of sports' most versatile announcers. Rizzuto, the great  Yankee shortstop for many years, is now one of the country's most recognized announcers, having been behind the Yankee mike since 1957. White was a star first baseman with the Giants, Cardinals and Phillies, then worked hard towards becoming an announcer, and has been with the Yankees since 1971.
Selected Yankee Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday games are seen regularly throughout the season on WPIX TV (Channel 11) and all games (home and road) are broadcast live on radio station WMCA (570 on the AM dial)."

COVERING THE YANKEES
"No city covers a story like New York, where the media is rated tops, and the newspapers, television and radio stations are always a step ahead of the news. The large press turnout for the Mantle-Ford Hall of Fame announcement is a sample of that coverage.
During the Yankee season, the Yankees are reported by some of America's finest journalists, air talent and photographers."
