Felger leaving ESPN Boston

[Kevin Vahey]

and us geeks are getting older.....

Still CBS also operates a station that was modeled after WBCN in
Chicago WXRT. Norm Weiner is still there and while the format now
skews younger they continue to remind listeners of the heritage.

Still WEEI will prosper as they own the Holy Grail which is the rights
to the Red Sox which remain the biggest radio property in New England.

On the TV side I would love to see CSN do well. They cover all the
teams on their shows while NESN pretty much ignores the Celtics and
Patriots.

IF another station wants to go after WEEI a good way to start would to
outbid WEEI for Patriots Monday. WEEI/WRKO is forced to have play by
play of the Revolution as part of the Pats Monday contract but to have
the Coach on for 30 minutes every week is worth the soccer fallout.

Heck in Chicago the MSL soccer team has radio coverage...in Spanish
and Polish but no English radio.
