Usually I don't listen, because a) most of the time I want to hear Howie's last hr instead--7p games, and b)
recep at work is worse than ever now; but one time I did tune in to the expanded 1 hr broadcast
(when it was on WRKO due to Celts game) and they had one segment that was about Sylvania
light bulbs. Yes, they were talking about energy saving light bulbs etc., in a segment that was
obviously influenced by the fact that they're a sponsor. And yes, let 'em make money since
the rights cost so much but a 10 min segment on that?
WBZ-FM may have indeed been a factor, having the listener phone calls--something you don't
usually get on the Red Sox network other than when "we're in a rain delay so let's go to Sox Talk..."
