Re: WNRB wins Pats show from WEEI

[Mike Thomas <nostatic@earthlink.net>]

Sounds to me like the Baker/Ordway fued is starting to get a bit ugly.  Baker used several
lines in his "story" to lambaste the Big O.  Like them or hate them, the recognizable names on
the WEEI roster are what fuels that stations billing, along with Imus and the Sox.  If
Entercom decides to "cut costs" by going satellite in some parts of the day, and base all
their numbers on Imus and play by play, they'd be making a big mistake.
