PawSox Flagship Station?

J

johnnyboots

Does anyone know which station will be the Flagship station for the Pawtucket Red Sox this year? WSKO-AM has been for the past few years, but I heard or read somewhere that WHJJ was to be come it. I cant seem to find it on any web site.
 
I think it's The Score again. There's something on the Pawsox website but it's a pdf file in that Pawsox magazine section and those files always freeze on my PC but when I did a websearch one of the results showed part of it mentioning 790.
 
WHJJ is the new home of the Pawsox, there is even a promo running right now on the station. The bumper sticker with the two sox on it was when HJJ carried the Boston Red Sox. The slogan was taken from WJAR radio, "where the Sox hang out".
 
If WHJJ is the new home of the Pawsox, what will The Score AM have on it? Also in the early 80's WHJJ did have the Pawsox, they also had a nightly sports talk show call Dick and Dave on Sports. 2 local guys heralding from the northern end of the state who were very popular. One, i am not sure which, dies of cancer in the late 80's. The Pawsox then moved to The First Sports Network, which was a compilation of AM stations heaed and owned by the owners of WKRI in West Warwick. The network also had Brown football and basketball, and CCRI basketball.
 
The original Boston Red Sox contract was on WJAR radio, when it became HJJ it remained 0n 920 for a few years until WPRO put in a higher bid. Dick and Dave are both still alive. Dick Higgins and Dave Abrahamson were the hosts.
