Now The Flyers Are Going To 97.5

This is a big shock, cause the flyer did rather well on radio. Maybe CBS didn't want to spend anymore money? I'm sure with the sixers gone they could've offered FM for all games (Just bump them to ogl when Phillies game conflict).

Anyway, this leave WIP with no big 4 sports from the time the eagles season ends, until spring training. Still I suppose they got the better half of the big 4. GM really wanted the Phillies, and if CBS hadn't made the move to 94.1 they probably would've got them this season.

Kind of funny how annoyed the Flyers were at being on 610, which was the station they have been on for all these years in the first place. Now all of a sudden it's a backwater.

I sense a backpedal by Mike Missanelli in a few months from now...

"Several Flyers games will also be broadcast on legendary rock station 93.3 WMMR-FM".
I guess WMMR will be the alternate station when there are conflicts with the Sixers.

Yes, the announcement was just made on Preston and Steve. WMMR will be the alternate station.

I'm sorry. I totally misread. WBZ-FM is competing against ALL the WEEIs. What does CBS own in Providence?

Nothing in the market itself.

And since Providence is not a large market in CBS' eyes, probably not ever...

And here's why the Flyers are leaving CBS:

This should end all discussions of a format change once and for all.
