Greg Hill mentioned this morning that the move to WEEI will be effective next Monday, July 22.
I have one request for the show when they move - can the commercial breaks NOT be 7-8 minutes long? There are no advantages to lengthy commercial breaks. It encourages listeners to change the station.

How do you suggest they pay Greg's salary? Listener contributions?
I assume you are proposing more commercial breaks that are shorter in length?
That would mean more interruptions to the flow of the conversation, and more opportunities to change the station.
If you got a reply on that from someone at a radio station, that person would be violating his station's contract with Nielsen, which prohibits disclosure of specific data like that.
How about NOT from the station? God knows there are enough media sources (Chad Finn, etc.) who have access to them.
Nielsen doesn't disclose that info to sportswriters like Finn. It's only available to its paying customers. Look up "proprietary."
Robert Feder gets the Chicago morning show rankings for his column every month.
Odd then that he and others use the show by show figures in their columns....
Maybe they have "moles" at the stations feeding them the data on condition of anonymity. Maybe David Eduardo is following this thread and can clarify the situation.

There were soime specific rules about releasing daypart/demo data.
One thing I recall is journalist do a "ranking" of the top X stations and that was OK with Arbitron.
Nielsen does not offer subscriptions to news media unless they also own broadcast properties. Only radio stations (and through them, their rep firms) and ad agencies / advertisers buy the numbers.
The media get 12+ numbers and cume. They can get additional permitted data from friends in the media.
Nielsen allows publishing demo and daypart rankers but they must be listed without actual shares.

A station talent may be given data on their performance, particularly if ratings based bonus structures are in place. But, generally, ratings data in full is not given to most of the staff of a station except for the PD, the sales staff and management.
Thanks David, I did not know that.
Thanks, but Finn is a sportsWRITER (for The Boston Globe) not a sportscaster. I think you misread my original post.
Correction - the first show on WEEI will be on July 29, but the last show on WAAF will be this Friday, July 19th. Greg mentioned this morning that he's being forced to take his remaining vacation days "with WAAF" next week. Even though WAAF and WEEI share the same parent company, I'm guessing WAAF and WEEI have separate finances and separate employee rosters.
