The Globe does strange things in that box giving the listings of sports
events on radio and TV.  They frequently list out-of-market stations when
giving the outlets for a team on-the-road within New England.
If UMass Lowell is paying a hockey game in Hartford, they may
have it as "WJUL 91.5, WWUH 91.3" for example.  If the Spinners 
were to play in Pittsfield, they might have it "WCCM 800 (in the past) and WBEC 1420".
Globeman Richard Buell has a listing of classical programming on several stations,
and he tastefully ignores WCRB as much as possible.  He lists the 
Metropolitan Opera broadcasts not only on WBOQ and W-H-RB, but also 
WFCR and WAMC out in Western Mass.
Something new popped up in the past two weeks...the talk-show section
of the radio highlights box printed on Saturdays lists a show on WPNI-AM 1430!
This of course is the WFCR fellow-traveler in Amherst, MA, on the
same frequency as a station in metro Boston...very unusual.

Maybe now that Bill Griffith knows WWZN is a 50,000 watt station, he can 
get someone to look at the Globe sports section's
radio listings. For at least four Sundays running, they've let us know that 
the Bridgeport Whatevers AHL team will be on the
radio, on a station identified as "WABV (1300)."

I pity the poor Bridgeport Whatevers fans in Weymouth who obligingly tune 
to 1300 each night to hear the game and get WJDA
instead; I suspect that what the Glob is trying to list is WAVZ 1300 in New 
Haven - which is a heck of a long way from
Morrissey Boulevard...
