McLendon, through their Dallas, Texas-based broadcasting company, Trinity Broadcasting Corporation (no relation to the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN)), which mainly broadcast live recreations of Major League Baseball games, by following the action via Western Union ticker reports. The sound effects were very realistic, and many listeners were not aware the broadcasters were not announcing the action live. At that time some major league teams and almost all minor league baseball clubs used recreations of their road games as an economy measure.2
