stereo for Sox games

I agree
but I am thankfull that W E E I is on (FM).
I wish they can have "Yahoo Sports Radio" on their station (at night/overnights). Because they sound more alive than "ESPN Radio"
Mike Salk on Saturday nights on ESPN Radio is great. He plays (Chinese Hip Hop Music-Karate Kid 2010) Chuck Wilson did also when he filled in for Mike Salk. They play that song during their "Wheel of Sound" Feature. Amy Lawrence is also great as well.
Other than that, I still say they should've put "Yahoo Sports Radio" on their station at night/overnights
Anyways, we should be thankfull they are on FM

Even mono on a nice clear FM signal won't sound too bad. I have recorded some of my blues
radio shows in mono off a stereo connected to a computer (stereo might have gotten a bit of
drift) and it sounded fine, and baseball won't be too bad in a clear mono signal. yes stereo would
add a bit more but at least now "no static at all" like on AM.*
*--I've been in places like Rt 114 in Middleton where WRKO gets interference from high tension
wires, etc. Then there's "post sunset direction switches"...

believe it or not. I actually pick up WEEI 96.3 at my Uncle's apartment in Revere, Ma (Beachmont area of Revere) It comes in (In Stereo)
When I was driving home to Salem, Ma. I picked up 96.3 in some parts of Lynn, and in some parts of Salem, Ma. I can't get it at my apartment in Salem (Near Salem, Hospital)

Sometimes the 96.3 can come in up here in Beverly--sometimes that "summer ducting" or whatever it's called, or I can get it on that Insignia (Best Buy) portable FM/HD...in stereo, could well be.
Of course Cape stations can do well across the water (esp. in summer like I said) up here on
North Shore: 99.9, 103.9 (despite being next to 104.1), 104.7 etc

Would the only benefit to baseball in stereo be to pickup on ambient crowd noise?
Yes and maybe the sound the bat makes when it hits the ball. When the Pats moved to 104.1 WBCN
they promoted you'd be hearing the sound of the players grunting as they hit each other, crowd
noise, etc. Hopefully that crowd ambient mic won't pick up anybody swearing--if so, hit that
dump button.
Some news-talk-sports stations prefer to have a solid mono signal--isn't WBUR that way at least
during talk shows? Also Kent/Akron OH talker WNIR (with Bob Golic, Mike's brother)

Nothing "puts you there" in the action more than "you're a bum"....or "get ya peanuts" in stereo.... ;D
Certainly, the sound of a pizza making impact with another fan should sound much better in stereo.
hahahaha ;D, ahhhhhh, good one.TANKSBACK said:

If done properly, it would sound great. They would need to have a stereo
enabled board at the remote site, that includes pan pots on each input channel.
The entire air chain would also have to be wired in stereo, including the
link back to the studio, as well as the link from the studio to the transmitter.
If properly adjusted, the virtual position of each announcer (play-by-play,
color, etc.) can be established. You would also need microphones scattered
throughout the stadium, sufficiently apart to accurately reproduce the crowd (wild)
sounds. It would help to have several sub-masters for each grouping of inputs used.
Unfortunately, stereo sound is often mishandled.
Take a network talk show, for example. The host would be established as mostly right channel,
the guest as mostly left. Multiple guests would be further segregated out as to their
respective positions on the couch. All too often the people are, basically, in mono,
while the band is in true stereo...
Play ball!

Then, when you look at the network, you've got 50 AM and 26 FM. I know at least one of those AM's is still running C-QUAM stereo, but who has a reciever left?
Most of your network's in mono, your park setup is mono, your STL is mono, and I'm not familiar with the Entercom studios but there's a chance the AM's were built out in mono.
For the handful of nerds that'd notice, I don't know how much it's worth it.

Is WEEI sacrificing stereo for the benefit of getting a better signal in fringe areas? Check out what Wikipedia says in its entry for FM broadcasting:
>>The range of mono FM transmission is related to the transmitter's RF power, the antenna gain, and antenna height. The FCC (USA) publishes curves that aid in calculation of this maximum distance as a function of signal strength at the receiving location. For stereo FM, the range is significantly reduced. This is due to the need to lower the modulation index of the main (sum) signal to accommodate the presence of the 38 kHz DSBSC subcarrier and 19kHz pilot tone. Many stations use extreme audio compression to keep the sound above the background noise for "distant" listeners, at the expense of degrading the sound quality.
So maybe they'd rather push further and with a more clear signal than have stereo, on 93.7 etc.
(I don't know of 105.5, 96.3, or 103.7 // WEEI are in stereo or mono). As I've mentioned before,
WNIR in the Kent/Akron OH area is in mono (talk format).
When I record my own college station using a receiver (rather than our webstream) I put it into
mono to get a clear signal. There's a fuzzy noise in background if I have it in FM.
Stereo for Sox/WEEI would be nice...but at what price..?

Meant to type "if I have it in FM mono"...
