And in Hartford, it wasn't on WCCC-FM. So it was another afternoon of
"You are listening to EXCLUSIVE coverage of the NFL playoffs on Westwood
One!" I've always wondered just what and whom these positioners are
intended for? So listeners won't even think of trying 106.9 for a few
seconds? So envious rival station GMs will know whom to contact if they
ever want NFL postseason action on their stations? So listeners can feel
a part of warm, fuzzy, yet EXCLUSIVE Westwood One family?

Also, does anyone know whether the home feeds for the past two Pats
games have been available at nfl.com? They haven't been all season,
thanks to Mel's streaming ban, but could the NFL have twisted his arm
for the postseason? Or are there no internet home feeds at all in the
postseason?
