Spring Training on TV

[Kevin Vahey]

The main reason was this is the busiest period of the year for TV
production truck rentals with all the college basketball finals.

The split feed made it easier for NEP which is NESN's vendor to do this.

Cost was the other factor as Red Sox ad inventory for spring is not
selling.
