WEEI 590 Ad

[Bob Nelson]

Yesterday I caught a New Hampshire Fisher Cats minor league baseball
game up in Manchester and I noticed Dick Lutsk was doing play by play
on the WGIR Fisher Cats network. I do remember he was a sports talk
host on WRKO, 6-8 pm right after Jerry Williams, so this led me to
wonder, was this before WEEI went all sports? (RKO also had the
syndicated Pete Rose show at one point)

Acc. to bostonradio.org, WEEI 590 went all sports on Labor Day of
1991, then switched to 850 in 1994. It's said that the Celtics had
bought WEEI 590 in 1990; 590 was sold to Back Bay Broadcasting in '94
and WEEI moved to 850. So the Celts had 590 from '90 to '94.
Maybe RKO was running Lutsk's sports show even though WEEI was all
sports at the time, or maybe it was before '91...anyway, in '92, WEEI
would have def. be under Celtics ownership. (WRKO and WEEI weren't
sister stations yet at that point.)
