No Salem-Bev. football classic on radio...

...Porque WESX ha ido al idioma y la religión españoles. But maybe something can be done at the last
minute to restore the Panthers and the Witches to local radio.

It's a shame that local radio has disappeared in favor of satellite feeds

I thought WESX still had local programming, of a sort. Aren't most of its foreign-language religious programs low-budget productions of area churches and ministries, who pay to get them aired? Not exactly great mass-appeal radio, but it IS local.

Not exactly the full-service radio station that actually broadcast local info and didn't try to brand itself as a "Boston" station, either.

I understand the business end of this industry and I vowed to not become one of those "remember when" people who has problems adapting to how this industry has evolved, but as a LISTENER, it's a shame to not have WESX around anymore.

It is a shame, indeed. I spent my teenage years in Swampscott and remember hearing WESX's tape-delayed coverage of Swampscott-Marblehead (invariably a lopsided Swampscott win) on many Thanksgivings.

I find it hard to believe the new owners of WESX hadn't heard about the Thanksgiving football tradition until just this week. I wonder if anyone on the South Shore has asked the same owners about the games WJDA used to cover.

>too bad WMWM can't do it..<

Good point! Their sports dept. could find some kids from the two schools interested in radio and show 'em the ropes.

Anyone have a spare comrex unit lying around? Dial up or BroadBand?

UPDATE! WMWM will do it!
Thanks to help from Brian V of the boston-radio-interest list (and Mood Swings smooth jazz guy!)
Sorry we don't streamcast but if you're in the area, tune in (and bring your umbrella if you're going to the game...)
