They say "keep your friends close and your enemies closer," right?
In 2003, the cluster I used to work for in NH carried the Yankees on their AM sports simulcast for a season. It raised a few eyebrows undoubtedly at first. A few listeners of the sister FM even called and complained and said "I refuse to support a company that supports the enemy!" I knew plenty of Red Sox fans who would tune from time to time to keep tabs on the Yankees while the Sox would be in a spot break. I know I did in that turbulent '03 season.
They decided to pursue the NH Fishercats the following season and ultimately the Yankees ended up on a much more powerful FM station, where they remain today. Whoops.<P ID="signature">______________
