How the New CBS Sports Radio affects Boston

[Bob Nelson]

As of now I would think WEEI would continue to simulcast on 850 for
ratings reasons but interesting ideas. The talk shows, etc. aren't
till January (sports updates begin in Sept.)

Some say Spanish on 101.7, some say conservative talk. Would they do
cons talk on 101.7 and Fox Sports on 1200? Or would they keep cons.
talk on both? Would they dare
run prog. talk (Ed Schultz supposedly says he will wind up on a bigger
station in Boston) on the AM maybe?

All interesting points. Would ESPN want the 1510 (they do have
93.7/850 overnights...
1510 would be a bit of a letdown from that, unless it ran on all of
them...) The World
Series on...1510 (only)??!? I can't see it.
