If this is true, will WRKO take over Paul Harvey and the ABC
Information affiliation from WBZ?  It's been a highly successful
partnership for both parties, but would Disney continue to see it that
way as a station owner in the same market?  WEEI is a natural, of
course, given Disney's ESPN Radio.  ABC has been a strong, if often
controversial, player in the talk radio industry for nearly four
decades.  It's fascinating to speculate about how this could play out.

Take care,
