Would Audacy bet on WEEI 850?

Audacy adds stations to its Bet QL network.If
not for the commitment to ESPN might they add
WEEI 850 or at least run some shows there?

I think some spillover sports airs on 850; pretty sure the arrangement has ESPN paying Audacy for
clearance in Boston
 
If sports betting is ever legalized in Massachusetts, BetQL would make sense -- although, as you say, Audacy's hands may be tied by its deal with ESPN. Legislation in all matters concerning gambling in Massachusetts is complicated by the 500-pound gorilla of influence known as the Mass. Lottery, which will almost certainly demand a role in running sports betting or a cut of the proceeds as compensation for revenues lost from people who will be buying a dozen fewer scratch tickets every day because they'll be betting on a dozen baseball games every night.
