Oh no...does this mean there'll be no Bob Brinker today?
I knew back on Fri (when I saw "sports on TV, radio this weekend" in the papers) that one NFL playoff game would be on WRKO today...WEEI would have had it but they wanted to talk Pats. WBCN has its own broadcast of Pats-Chargers of course, and no Westwood One coverage of that locally...this is nothing new. Red Sox
except for weekday afternoons and Wed. nights; Celtics; some Revolution games, maybe; some playoff
action, college, etc. Sports spilling over to WRKO from WEEI.
Basically nights will be sports on WRKO and Savage/Doyle are only on the nights when there is no game.

I did the same thing (driving home.. to see the Pats Game ). Its to bad..I didnt think RKO would have the game on..so I stayed on 890..and I listen to them(890).. talk about the highlights.. of the game .Varulven said:
Given that they keep running ads for the Sox games that are upcoming, and have been doing the Celtics for a couple years...and various other sporting events, most people should be aware that sports is part of their
format. Not only are they "WEEI 2" in some ways, but now sports is a MAJOR part of their lineup...nights
and weekends.
They just haven't added "sports" to the nickname of "The Talk Station".
And there are many similar stations that say "Talk" but air sports at night or on weekends, as it is.
WEEI carried W1's Monday Night Football and, again, would have had yesterday's first game, but they
knew people would want to talk Pats before the game. WBCN exercised exclusivity (an NFL rule;
should the Pats make the Super Bowl, don't expect that to be on WRKO or WEEI either, only WBCN.)
Don't know if WEEI, during their flashes, said "The Seahawks are playing the Bears--you can catch that over
at AM 680".
btw Finneran's bio--but not the negative stuff--is up at WRKO site. Their messageboards however have a lot
of negative feedback on his hiring and there are many "I won't listen anymore' or "I'll listen to Howie but that's it' posts.

>>running ads declaring them the only full-time talk station in Boston.
WTTT is also full time talk but apparently were forgotten; and I think WTKK also ran those promos
before 1200/1430 went off the air. They were full time talk too

Oh it's there--look under Scott Allen Miller 101
one post: "That press conference today was total crap. Finneran is an egghead and listening to the press conference was painful enough - listening to him for 3 hours is nothing short of torture."
actually he'll be on for four hours
"Scott Allen Miller 101" has no less than 5 threads attacking WRKO (mostly) & bashing Finneran.
Threads:
Goodbye WRKO

Robins this week)? 6-7? presumably by that time the Celtics game will be over so 'RKO can be a part
of it...
