Seeing as sports has been on 1510 at least since 1997, I would guess ESPN
would be around for quite a while. ESPN would love to have an affiliate for
its radio network here to show clearance for advertisers, I bet. Shows like
Kornheiser and Patrick might actually do well here, too.

ESPN and NESN also have a partnership through ESPNEWS. I wonder if ESPN and
NESN (i.e. the Red Sox) might go in as partners on a 1510 purchase?
