The Bisons are on 1520:

This is part of a back-and-forth between Entercom and WECK - Entercom 
had been happy to shuffle the Bisons off to WECK a few years back when 
WECK was doing standards and then classic country for Regent. IIRC, the 
Bisons were buying the time for the broadcasts, which generate little to 
no ratings.

But when WECK went to local ownership and tried to become a talk threat 
to WBEN, suddenly Entercom was eager to do a deal to bring the Bisons 
back to KB on very favorable terms to the team, if only to deprive WECK 
of one attention-grabbing bit of programming.

And so WECK grabbed the Yankees, and so KB and WGR are apparently 
grabbing the Sox...and on it goes.
