Red Sox TV and Radio ratings tanking

[Kevin Vahey]

Garrett - compared to 2009

I agree with David that a mere 100,000 average listeners for a game on
WEEI will not justify the rights contract. The chart in the linked
story shows smaller markets with more listeners.

The 2010 team started badly, the Celts and Bruins had playoff runs and
the latter played havoc with TV games on NESN.

We don't know how badly WBZ-FM has hurt WEEI's bottom line but it must
be quite a hit.
