If WMKK becomes WEEI

They could move WMKK to 97.7 and/or 107.3. However there's more speculation now (and again, only that at this point)
that WAAF may be "next on the chopping block"

http://www.bostonradiowatch.com talks about the upcoming move, apparently, to put WEEI on FM (probably
93.7) and ESPN on 850. They also quote an article on blastmagazine.com saying that WAAF could "be next on
the chopping block", speculating Entercom could move WRKO there. They would keep Greg Hill in the morning and
then have Rush, Howie, etc.

Joseph Gallant speculated on another board that WAAF could go to an HD-2 and that WEEI would go to 97.7 and
107.3...I'm not so sure; I think WEEI lands on 93.7 and maybe 97.7 as well, and WRKO could go to 107.3 or
perhaps 107.3 (covers the west) and 97.7 (covers south, etc.) together. Heck, buy or LMA WCRB 99.5 and you have
the north.

All just speculation but you have to wonder. If Entercom had an FM based directly in Boston WRKO could go there
but instead they have WMKK (stick 15 mi. or so to the north), WKAF (stick on Great Blue Hill, maybe 13-15 mi.
to the south but not as strong?) and WAAF (not sure how far to the west). Note that WMKK has a CP that would give it a very solid signal in most directions... WKAF may also have a CP in the works.
