>From a Providence Journal blog:

"In a landmark deal guaranteed to reverberate throughout baseball and
the broadcasting industry, the Red Sox today secured a record-breaking
10-year, $200 million deal to return their play-by-play rights to
Boston flagship WEEI Radio.

"The rights had been the subject of a bidding war between Entercom
Radio, the parent company of WEEI, and Greater Media, which owns a
handful of stations in Boston, including WBOS-FM."

-- Journal sports writer Sean McAdam

That's TWICE what the Yankees deal was.
