105.5 Easthampton, MA will be WEEI simulcast

J

jlehmann

It was announced on WEEI today that Entercom has purchased the still being built 105.5 in Easthampton, MA. It will simulcast WEEI, just like 103.7 in Westerly/Providence, RI and 1440 in Worcester. Maybe the new calls will be WVEI-FM.

Will the WBEC intellectual property still move to another Berkshire station when the transfer takes place on June 1? I believe that was the plan when 105.5 received its CP.

That's too bad. I was hoping for something new and interesting on that signal.

Absolute waste. They should have bought 640AM
 
Well, I dunno. 640AM would be the logical choice you'd think

However, with an FM they have full time coverage in Springfield and Providence/Westerly unlike they have with 1440 outside of worcester of WEEI-AM......... im wondering if sports could move to fm

however, in this case i think 640 wouldvreally een the betetr choice since most of the time, it has better coverage then 105.5 will

now all they need is a hartford signal.. hello WPOP?

In case anyone else is interested, the Springfield Republican (at <a target="_blank" href=http://www.masslive.com/business/republican/index.ssf?/base/business-0/1140165891251720.xml&coll=1>http://www.masslive.com/business/republican/index.ssf?/base/business-0/1140165891251720.xml&coll=1</a>) stated that the WBEC intellectual property will in fact be moving to 95.9 (currently WUPE). Presumably, the "Whoopie" oldies currently simulcast on WMNB and WUPE will continue on WMNB.
