Ah....

btw due to the Celtics bumping the Sox to RKO, RKO bails out of Howie at 6:30 pm tonight and also Wed & Fri night. WCRN
830 might have the rest of Howie, not sure. This is because the Celtics are on WEEI 93.7/850...You might ask why don’t they have the C’s on 93.7 and put the Sox on 850? It has to do with ratings. They have 93.7 and 850 as 100 per cent simulcast and the ratings of both combine as one. So in cases like this WRKO picks up one broadcast—and since the C’s are in the playoffs they get first priority on WEEI
(at least as of this round).

Perhaps as of next year Howie will be on a station that doesn’t have this problem. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!

(Howie’s contract ends in Sept or Nov... Mark Schynder of Boston Radio Watch thinks Howie may go to 96.9. He tweets:
“If Entercom loses Howie Carr this summer it’s pretty much game set match for 680. Might as well sell off both AM’s ...He still has one big fat contract left in him which makies me think he winds up in AM drive on FM(96.9)”
