WEEI-FM 93.7

[Doug Drown]

For what it's worth (and admittedly it ain't worth much), let me insert 
this curmudgeonly comment: I hate this "EEI" call letters nonsense. 
 Maine's oldest radio station, WABI in Bangor, had its call letters 
changed by Blueberry Broadcasting a few years ago when Blueberry 
abruptly dropped the station's music format (and its 60-year morning 
man George Hale in the process, for whom the station's studio was 
named[!]) and effected an affiliation with the WEEI Sports Network. The 
calls were changed to WAEI.  Within a year, the WEEI connection was 
severed because of contractual problems.  The new call letters have 
remained. It irritated me then, and it still irritates me today.  I 
don't like the idea of tinkering with history, especially when it comes 
to old, historic stations.  Look at what happened to WCOP, WMEX and 
WAAB.  At least Entercom, to its credit, has retained WAAF (modified 
many years ago from WAAB-FM).  -Doug
