Red Sox return to WEEI

[Jeff Lehmann]

I don't think they're going to move WEEI to 680 just so Bob can hear  
the Sox at work. They have been very sucessful on 850. Why would they  
want to mess with that? Mike FM is also sucessful, and if they moved  
EEI there, they would then have an AM with almost no value.
