WVEI-FM launch today at 2 pm

[Bob Nelson]

WVEI-FM 105.5 in Easthampton, simulcasting WEEI, will debut today at 2
pm. I understand they're reading some Dr. Seuss books on air (Ted
Geisel's home town) as a stunt to the official launch. They will
simulcast WEEI plus pick up Red Sox and Celtics games from WRKO (some
Red Sox games will be on WEEI though). B.C. basketball, too.

The WEEI website says that "Springfield joins the family today at 2 pm."

So it looks like WHYN loses the Sox after all...a few weeks back Howie
Carr got a caller from Western Mass. who complained about the Sox
games pre-empting his show on WHYN.
"Well, you won't have that problem next year," Howie replied.
