Sox on 890/1400

[Paul Hopfgarten]

Speaking of which.....

ESPN 890 (WAMG/WLLH) apparently can air the ESPN version of Red Sox Playoff
games..??? They were advertising as being so....I mean ESPN 890! (Not a
national Ad.) ..was advertising as so.

I had to go into Boston today and did listen to 890, where it is
unlistenable (and 1400 barely so) at home.

I thought that stations outside of Boston (like WTPL 107.7 Hillsborough NH)
not only could but HAD to take the ESPN feed vs. the WRKO/WEEI feed once we
get to the playoffs (or is it JUST the World Series, now that I think about
it), but I did NOT KNOW that an ESPN affiliate IN Boston could take the
feed...

Does this mean 1050 New York can carry the ESPN feed of Yankees and (if they
don't completely blow it) Mets even while WCBS and WFAN respectively air the
local coverage?

Plough was best known for making Coppertone.

40 years ago next month they had their best month in station history. As a
NBC affilate they got to carry the 67 World Series that the Red Sox were in.
