Shoemaker's son used proceeds from Florida real estate investments to buy Miami TV station for $3.4 million in 1962. Eventually added 2 competing Boston stations. Nabbed a third Boston broadcasting unit in 2006; purchased CW Television-affiliated WLVI from Tribune Co. for $114 million. Also owns gobs of real estate.
