Prov. shuffle: Rush, Buddy, etc

>>OK, so if all the bad things happen to 680 in the talk realm that are
theorized, wouldn't it make sense for ESPN on 850 & WEEI programming (if not
calls) on 680 to be the future of the 2 AMs?

I could picture this: WEEI calls/programming incl. Red Sox on 680.
WRKO calls and Celtics basketball on 850. During the day 850
could throw on some regular talk but switch to sports at night
(Planet Mikey when Sox are on?--or perhaps ESPN or Fox Sports Radio.)
Tonight the Red Sox were on 680 while 850 picked up NFL Football
(Colts-Saints)...sign of things to come? Under such a scenario
850 could also be the place for Revs soccer, BC football, etc.

>>In fact, because of its low frequency and good
transmitter location, WEZE, a 5-kW station, really belongs ahead of
WWZN and WKOX. Also, because of its lower frequency and superior
transmitter location, WRKO has better coverage than WEEI--almost
everywhere.

We remember when news and later the sports talk of WEEI was on 
590 with a half decent signal though the move to 850 was
touted as an improvement. So WEZE 590 (5 kW directional)isn't as 
good a signal as 680 but would rank ahead of 1510 and 1200,
indeed. (If Salem ever were to sell 590 to Entercom maybe
they could find a news/sports format to air there...)
