BRW: Celts to Entercom?

[David Tomm]

Yeah, and the chances of the Sox going to 1510 are about the same as 
Rush Limbaugh becoming a Democrat.  It ain't gonna happen, no matter 
how much money Paul Allen throws at them.  If anything, the Sox would 
want a station with at least the same amount of coverage as WEEI or 
more, not less.  Infinity stations have begun to sour on paying big 
bucks for sports teams radio rights since Mel Karmazin left, so WBZ may 
not be as big of a player for the Sox games as some may think.   Still, 
they may be in the mix along with Greater Media's WTKK.  At the end of 
the day though, I'd be very surprised if the Sox aren't on WEEI in 
2007.
