Wee Eye

[David Tomm]

The WEEI repeater stations Entercom owns in Worcester, Providence and 
Springfield do air their own spots.  Often the local breaks aren't as 
long as Boston's so the tail end of the Boston stopsets do air 
regionally.  I would expect that the new stations will have automation 
set up to do the same thing.  The execution is often very sloppy on 
air.  WVEI/Worcester will often dump back into the Boston feed 
mid-spot, and top of hour ID's also sound choppy.   Someone who knows 
how to do production for automation should redo the imaging and the 
spots so that local breaks sound more seamless.  But, that may be too 
much to ask nowadays...
