The plot thickens with sports media

[Maureen Carney]

Doubtful that ESPN would want 98.5 because they would only clear overnights. That was a big complaint they had about being on WEEI. National sponsors want to see Top 10 market clearance even if it's on a flea watt station. Also 98.5 probably wouldn't clear any of their live event programming (NBA, MLB) because of Bruins conflicts and wanting to keep the developing audience for DA's show.
