It was founded in 1930 by John Shepard III; in 1949, a controlling interest in the network was purchased by General Tire when Robert Shepard chairman of the network''s parent company, The Shepard Company, decided that radio and its dependence on the FCC was too risky a business to bankroll any longer. Money was also needed to pay Estate Taxes following the death of John III''s and Robert''s father John Shepard Jr. the previous year. The flagship Yankee station was Boston''s 1230, later 1260 and finally 680 WNAC. The Yankee Network had affiliates elsewhere in Massachusetts (Fall River, Lowell Lawrence, New Bedford, Springfield), Connecticut (Brideport, Hartford, Waterbury), Rhode Island (Providence), New Hampshire (Manchester), and Maine (Bangor, Portland). In 1932 CBS was streamlining its radio network bypurchasing stations it would directly own and operate (O&O) in major markets such as Boston.
