Monday Night Football on WEEI-FM

I was hearing the Green Bay vs. Carolina NFL game on WEEI-FM 103.7 tonight. I was also hearing the same Westwood One broadcast on WSKO-AM & FM. I thought 99.7 FM and 790 AM were the exclusive Westwood One sports radio affiliates for the Providence market. I realize WEEI-850 is the Westwood One affiliate that airs NFL games for the Boston market. Perhaps someone didn't "flip the switch" for the FM side to "black out" the NFL game? What's the deal? This is not the first time I have heard a "screw up" like this on WEEI-FM. A few weeks ago, I heard a couple of innings of Red Sox coverage on 103.7, while hearing the same broadcast on WPRO-630. I think someone in Boston is simply not paying attention. Is anyone down at the Salty Brine Broadcast Center paying attention to these mishaps on WEEI-FM? If so, I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy. How does 1440 AM WVEI in Worcester fit in here? Does this same mess happen on that station as well?
 
Either the button-pushers or the automation didn't do their thing. It's an ongoing problem at EEI Prov; since May of last year when they flipped, there's always been a continuity problem. 1 and 1/2 years in, the local commercials STILL fall into network commercials from Boston abruptly. I don't get it personally, but when your content is that good, and that topical, it's less important I suppose.
