That's the most likely explanation. A theatre could probably reproduce a game using pre- filmed segments of film, and showing the appropriate ones as the game accounts came in over the radio.
There was actual television at the time, but it wasn't sensitive enough for outdoor use until 1937 (UK) or 39 (US) Most of the television in the 30's was mechanically scanned and while there were regular broadcasts they were all licensed as experimental.
