Interesting that happened. I know back when the Patriots made the Super Bowl
in '97, I am fairly certain the Patriots radio network feed did air on WSKO
in Providence, as well as WBCN. I thought there was some rule limiting the
Super Bowl radio broadcasts to just the flagships, but I didn't know this
applied to the conference championship games as well.
