The dollars are small, but so is the return on investment, especially 
for the sort of small standalone AM most likely to end up in the WEEI fold.

Entercom has become a much larger market player; hard to imagine the 
corporate office wanting to bother with the low six figures in revenue 
they MIGHT be able to pull out of an AM in Montpelier or Bennington or 
White River Junction, especially when they're already getting most of 
that revenue just by offering up the Sox network affiliation at night.
