Re: WEEI picking up Fox Sports Radio

Remeber, that early Mon AM (pre 6AM) is still the weekend lineup, so maybe the Pete Sheppard program is to start this evening (Mon/Tue) at midnight..and Fox is their weekend filler...

Fox Sports Radio hasn't had a Boston affiliate since
it started a couple years ago but it looks like WEEI
will be running them, at least part time. WEEI had
been hinting that they'd be doing a local overnight
show, "The Big Sexy With Pete Sheppard", scheduled to
start last night...ah, but...April Fool! 

Just out of curiosity (hmm, maybe they were going to
have Pete on after all?), I tuned in last night and
noticed they had Fox Sports Headlines at the top of
the hour, then they went into a Fox Sports show,
talking some baseball. It was lively and funny; maybe
this is what they'll be running overnights. WEEI
listeners had been complaining that they didn't like
the ESPN show (Todd Wright) they'd been running.

Oh, and Fox Sports is the network now running
"J.T. The Brick", but that show runs 7-11 pm Eastern,
when 'EEI is busy running Ted Sarandis and/or Red Sox
games, so unless they decide to run it tape
delayed...WEEI had carried J.T. when he was part of
the now defunct Sports Fan network.
