WEEI Sports Network Question about coming to C.T. ??

There a rumor going around on the C.T. Board, that Clear Channel is trying to sell off 104.1 ( FM 104 One, Alt Rock ) Hartford C.T. Does anybody on this board, think Entercom should Buy this signal, and put on Sports Radio WEEI , in Hartford C.T. ?
 
You can get 103.7 in all of eastern CT and 105.5 in all of northern CT, so all that's really left out is the bottom corner which is mostly yankee country anyway. So I don't think it's really needed.
 
Yep. 105.5 (out of Springfield) covers the greater Hartford area decently and 103.7 booms into most of eastern CT, including southeastern CT.

Once you start going towards New Haven and eventually into Fairfield County, those listeners care more about WFAN in NY than they ever would about a Boston-based sports station.

Dear God no!!
WTIC already covers the terrible Red Sox and this is Yankees country thank you very much :)
WFAN has a huge signal over most of CT and is a much better sports station, IMHO.

Agreed! If anything takes the Sox off WTIC...what'll us Sox fans in upstate NY have to listen to? Satradio only has the home field announcers and thus is an inferior product in my book.

Do you mean the terrible World Champion Red Sox?
 
I sure as hell hope that they never come to Connecticut. WTIC-AM 1080 already airs the Red Sox. WPOP-AM 1410 already has their commitments to the Yankees, Hartford Wolfpack (AHL hockey) and the CCSU Blue Devils Men's Basketball (Central Connecticut State University). As for the Northampton, MA station on 105.5 FM, I only get a trace of it here in New Britain. If I move my antenna even slightly, I get a trace of WQGN-FM from Groton.

World Champions? Yes, they most certainally are. Talk to me when they have 26 of those titles. Go Yankees! :)

That title is available only to proprietary franchises in North America, which any glance at a world map will tell you, is only a PORTION of the world.

How many of those 26 are from this century? Yankees Suck, Yankees Suck, Yankees Suck.

I'll give you a mulligan on the last answer. Try the math again, but this time show your work. Hint: This century started on 1/1/01. Another hint: The answer is a "round" number.
 
While the XM package carries only the Home announcers for any MLB game, the package on MLB dot com offers each set for every game home and road which you can stream...

26-7=19...not 22....BTW, I would welcome a different affiliate of Red Sox baseball in CT. It would allow WTIC to avoid conflicts with UConn football in September and October. Yes, October too!

Meh, WHUS does a better job on game coverage anyways. ;D
 
WHUS does a lot of things well! Live dj's 24/7/365 and a vast wide variety of music, sports and information. PLUS they are on the web. Most used web service is when they do UCONN soccer! A premier college/community station.

The question was how many World Series have the Yankees won in this century(21st..began on 1/1/2001). The answer is of course, a big fat zero. I should know better than to converse with Yankee fans.
 
Ok, I think we've officially beaten a dead horse now.
The answer is no, the WEEI sports network should not come to 104.1 in Hartford.
 
Where WEEI needs an added signals is in Central NH and MT Washington Valley area. 850 does not get there clear at day; and not at all at night.
