Red Sox games

[Dan.Strassberg]

Hi, Donna and all: While you're at it, was 1430's flip from (I guess)
WWEL to WXKS (AM) concurrent with 107.9's flip from WWEL-FM to Kiss
108?. The 1430 flip might have been from beautiful music to adult
standards or maybe 1430 was already doing adult standards. In which
case, had it previously changed calls back from WWEL (AM) to WHIL?
