EEI to FM scenario back in play?

[MarcB]

I don't really see an "all-local" WEEI and an "all-national" ESPN AM cannibalizing each other too much.

I agree. CBS's WJZ AM & FM in Baltimore. 105.7 The Fan is all local. ESPN 1300 is all ESPN.

I'd be happy just to get Red Sox games on an FM easily receivable at work...and it was good that WEEI
picked up playoff/WS games (or bumped some to WRKO) for same reason.

See the Dec ratings here on radio-info; in addition to finding out that WODS was #2 overall with all
Christmas, you'll see WEEI and WBZ-FM move to #12 and #14 I believe...and while WBZ-FM only last one
tenth of one point, WEEI lost _nine times that much_ in that month. BZ-FM serious challenge? Would putting EEI on FM help ratings?

Just saw this from Scott Fybush over on the Providence board:

These are indeed for Syracuse - registered as blockers in the Citadel-Galaxy sports war that's brewing in central NY:

So those domains have nothing to do with New England, it appears.

OK, thanks for the info! That does explain the Syracuse ESPN website...

Fybush: "Starting March 5, 2010, ESPN will move to the new "ESPN Radio 97.7 and 100.1" in Syracuse and Oswego" (link above)
