Do you think if this happens that any staff at weei will go to 98.5 or are they more likely to go to another entercom sports station like wfan.
Is there ANYBODY at WEEI that 98.5 would even want right now?
The Sports Hub has been around now for TEN YEARS and the only talent they have flushed was Gary Tanguay in the key billable hours.
Weekends both stations are local but neither station is paying the weekend talent that much and they can sell enough ads to make the segments sustaining.
If I was running WEEI, I would roll the dice and give afternoon drive to Jack Edwards ( and let him do the show from his home in Connecticut) - People WOULD tune in to sample what he was babbling about. OMF has failed miserably but Edwards and Ordway might create sparks.
I hate to admit this but I enjoy Mitch Melnick on CKGM Montreal (TSN690) - He doesn't take phone calls and has a steady number of 'insiders' that are given the floor, and Mitch is very fair to the Bruins. Problem is in Boston intelligent sports radio is not allowed.
