Re: Monday Night Football on the radio

Dan Billings wonders:
> Does any know how conflicts are worked out between the 
Monday Night Football radio package and affiliates of 
the local teams?  In Portland, WBLM is the Patriots 
radio affiliate and WZAN has the Monday Night football 
package.  WZAN is running promos for Monday night's 
Patriots game.  Will WBLM also have the game?  Is the 
situation different with the team's flagship station?<<

actually, Dan... it's kind of like the infield-fly 
rule.  if we tell you, then we'd have to... well, you 
get the picture.  don't worry.  be happy.  it has 
something to do with how retrograde Jupiter is.  or it 
might have to do with whether or not Flutie is taking on 
Bledsoe in a game beyond 60 miles of the 413 area code.
  i'm not being wise.  the Portland coverage/games 
carried memo that came out within the halls of Portland 
Radio Group makes as much sense to me as the infield-fly 
rule.  and i'm sure it makes as much sense to anyone who 
attempts to hear the games within a "split coverage" 
market, not unlike Boston or Portland.
