Red Sox TV and Radio ratings tanking

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Is WPLM still broadcasting WPNW?

It may have been a rumour I heard and I don't even remember where I heard it
months ago, but i thought possibly, the lease Barry had with WPLM was up
sometime this year and wasn't going to be renewed.

I could be very very wrong and just confused about something else I heard
