>>Is WEEI still the flagship station for the Red Sox radio network?

It is till the end of this year (and the Prov. affiliate
has been changed from WPRO to WEEI-FM 103.7). But it's up to the Sox to now decide whom will carry them next year. Rumor
has it they'd like an _FM_ station--better sound quality
(and FM signals can do well, despite the occasional fadeouts due to line-of-sight problems). Sox may even buy their
own station or set up an arrangement with an existing
broadcaster.

Likely homes for Red Sox Radio?

--WEEI 850 or sister stations WMKK 93.7, WAAF 107.3
(Entercom)

--WBOS 92.9 (Greater Media)
--WTKK 96.9 (Greater Media)
--WKLB 99.5 (Greater Media, though may be sold off
with GM's acquisition of classical WCRB)
--WCRB (for now) 102.5, soon to be Greater Media

--WBCN 104.1 (CBS, current flagship of Pats)
--WBZ 1030 (CBS, current flagship of Bruins)

etc (maybe even "ESPN 890/1400" but they have signal
problems)

We'll find out eventually! But for now it's still WEEI Red
Sox network
