Garrett might know better but I'm pretty sure there is a Mets affiliate up
there.

These days, it's WSKO (790) and WSKO-FM (99.7) airing the Yankees in that
area. WSKO-FM carries the full schedule, while WSKO only carries the games
not conflicting with PawSox broadcasts. Of course, WCBS has a listenable
signal day and night in much of the coastal area those signals cover, so the
need for an affiliate is not as great (though much appreciated by those
living closer to Boston).

I wonder what baseball broadcasts will get more listenership on the Cape
this summer, WEEI/WCIB and the Sox or WCBS and the Yanks? (My money's on the
Yankees.)
