WEEI, Ordway try to work out deal

[Maureen Carney]

But you can't be much of a hero when you give another ownership group the chance to flip an FM to a competing format with your (now former) marquee talent. Other than Pete Shepard no one else from the Big Show is under contract to WEEI. They could all theoretically go with Ordway to 92.9, 103.3 or whatever other frequency is rumored to be flipping to sports talk. And that leaves you with Pete and whomever they can get. (Mike Felger isn't an option because of his CSN committment.) Said it before and I'll say it again - Entercom has been lucky so far that the competition for WEEI has been so feeble and/or inept and now the economy works in their favor by ownerships not wanting to invest in talent and/or format flips.
