New Red Sox network affiliates

C

CTListener

The Red Sox have left Great Eastern Radio's and Sugar River Radio's stations in the Upper Valley (WWOD 93.9, W234BN 94.7, W294AB 106.7) and are now on the area's three WEEI affiliates (WEEY 93.5, W232DN 94.3, W233CC 94.5). I think this is a mid-season switch, because I'm almost certain I heard the Sox on 93.9 during the first week of the season, and Joe Castiglione was voicing appeals for sponsors that were airing on the Great Eastern stations all through the off-season.
 
WEEY and WTSV (94.3/94.5) are also owned by Great Eastern.

Do any of those stations also air the Bruins or Celtics? Perhaps a conflict bumped one or the other to 93.9 at times?

I don't think so. But then again, I'm seldom in the car at night, when those teams are usually playing, and I really only follow the Red Sox and Bruins. I've been up here for three years, and the Sox on 93.9 and 106.7 have been a constant. I think WCNL and its translator have only been carrying a partial schedule; now it seems the Sugar River combo is out of the picture entirely.

Baseball on an alternative station always struck me as odd. Oldies and classic country made more sense, demographically. But no baseball on all those mini-WEEIs was weird. Not as weird as Patriots football (from the WBZ-FM network) on WEEI-branded stations, but still weird. At least now the Sox are on sports-formatted stations in the Upper Valley. We'll see how the football conflicts are handled come September.
 
It sure is odd where Audacy owned 103.7 WVEI-FM in RI runs the Bruins from 98.5’s network.

Elsewhere in NH I noticed that 107.7 WTPL and 1490/107.3 WEMJ are carrying the Red Sox again this year, filling in a big hole that was there the last few years.
