ESPN Boston maintains they will continue local programming, with afternoon and midday shows, but they
could not come to terms with Mike Felger who will join WEEI's website. The station has occasionally
shown up in the ratings but cannot match the ratings or clout of 'EEI. Who knows how long they will continue
as sports; well, at least they have things like Sunday Night Baseball and the All Star Game.

In a town like this, a powerful sports talker like WEEI has no time to run a mostly-ESPN-fed format (WEEI's overnights are done by Fox
Sports instead) , so ESPN turns to a smaller signal to do mostly national, some local
programming. And now they lose Felger.
