WEEI versus The Sports Hub (was: Entercom to buy WFNX?)

[Bob Nelson]

>>I know many who will not listen to D&C because of the politics - heck make them the RKO morning show :)

When the subject of EEI vs. 98.5 comes up in articles in the Globe or Herald, check out the comments online (or maybe some show up on Facebook too)--"I'm sorry I can't listen to John and Gerry, the politics turns me off..." Various people weigh in on preferring WEEI or 98.5 ("they shoulda kept Pete Sheppard"..."I listen to 98.5 in morning, then EEI, then back to 98.5, then..." etc.)
They could indeed do the RKO morning show but when does Finneran's contract run out?



>>Jason is
clueless in stopping the bleeding. 

He will defend EEI's shows and try to throw in numbers of the Prov. station to
indicate they're even stronger than you think

>>EEI is still breathing but RKO is a complete wreck. 

They may not know what else to do with the station; perhaps they make money in 
some demos but I can imagine morning show, Manning, and even Howie's ratings are
really starting to tank as some age out of the demo or lose interest in the
offerings.
