Breaking News: 98.5 becomes All Sports WBZ-FM

[Larry Weil]

I heard Eli Polanski talking about this earlier on his WMBR show, presumably
he got it from the same source.  Is there any confirmation of this, I don't
always consider radio-info to be a reliable source if it's a member posting.

 From Radio Info.com:

**** and in the case of Boston, that means the demise of Boston rocker WBCN
at 104.1. CBS is going to transfer its hot AC "Mix" WBMX from 98.5 to 104.1.
On August 13, the new "Sports Hub" will debut on 98.5, featuring
play-by-play from the NFL Patriots and NHL Boston Bruins, plus the current
WBCN morning show of Toucher & Rich. New call letters for 98.5 - WBZ-FM.
That station will directly challenge Boston's entrenched all-sports station,
Entercom's WEEI at 850. In Washington, CBS confirms the much-rumored
conversion of talker WJFK (106.7) to sports as "The Fan", as of July 20. The
lineup will include the NBA Washington Wizards, plus - as rumored in T-R-I -
the Westwood One NFL package. Details at Radio-Info.com - ******
