Not an official Sox announcement yet, but looking like it. No static, no static, no static at all...(WBOS) FM... (starting next year).

Sox are 1/6th owned by NY Times, parent company of Globe; might we see Boston Globe Radio on WBOS, similar to Washington Post Radio (1500) in DC?

I don't think this has anything to do with the reception of AM vs. FM. This smacks of Larry Lucchino trying to control his team's radio outlet. He (and the team) are regularly ripped on WEEI and it is no secret that Larry doesn't like it. Lucchino is also no fan of the conservative bent of 'EEI. These are the only reasons that this deal makes sense. WEEI, for all its faults, pulls down huge ratings as Sports talk station. It has a decent signal and a large network. Moving the Sox smacks of the petulance that Lucchino has become known for. My prediction is that this will last for a single contract cycle and be back on 'EEI in a couple of years.

I assume there will still be a Red Sox "radio network"? We listen to the Red Sox on WTIC AM 1080 - Hartford, CT. If we're at Fenway, my radio is tuned to WEEI 850 of course...

WHAT is up with our Red Sox lately, BTW? I'm almost dreading Monday night's game with the Yankees (and Johnny DEMON) visiting Fenway... :-(
