WEEI network missed opportunity for Burl VT?

Will said:
2) WEEI does not exist in Burlington because I'm told it's cost prohibitive. Of course, "cost" is what you make it. Burlington radio owners are also of mediocre intelligence at best, so that factors into it as well.

Same reason WEEI is not in Bangor anymore
 
Figured cost may be part of reason, or all. Entercom had lost a couple Howie affiliates (but 1, maybe in Keene came back) due to cost reasons. Fox cheaper...btw it was interesting that Sporting News Radio on 98.5 lasted about 2 months after the launch of Sports Hub. When EEI dropped Fox Sports for ESPN,
98.5 quickly grabbed it. On the first JT The Brick show 98.5 broadcast, JT and Tom Looney welcomed their new affiliate--but WEEI was carrying that night too. Most likely a misunderstanding, but EEI listeners got tipped off as to the show's new home
 
Well it was a spur as I said that EEI's network could use an FM within 128 and XM (as well as HD etc) were brought up as alternatives, and sorry Dan for my broken record (or skipping CD?) on this. One day in Boston proper (and I don't mean the Gloucester outlet) the Sox will be on megacycles, not kilocycles
and recep problems on AM will cease
