It was even worse later where the ID ran at 11:22 PM.

BTW does WRKO just send the Boston feed to the affiliates? The reason
I ask is MLB.com on their stream has all local WRKO breaks including
ID instead of a clean network feed.

When Jane Day ran the Sox network out of WPLM Plymouth she made sure
that nothing WPLM related went on the bird.
