WRKO, actually, is the one you mean (i.e., making them
the flagship)—I actually am fine with that because I
work nights and WRKO comes in better than WEEI but it
does indeed cut off the last half hour of HC’s show.
And remember all those pre-emptions back in March
and early April?

>>Hiring “Tommy Taxes” Finneran was a direct slap to Howie Carr

Exactly! And cut Howie’s pay to help pay for The Felon.
Entercom isn’t called “Cheapercom” for nothing.

I guess the figure for Sox rights was $16 mil a yr over
10 years. Then they cut out the news department at
WRKO and now this.

Thanks - I did mean "WRKO", of course. I still haven't gotten used to the switch in frequencies - gee, it's only been what, 12 years? ;-)

I had forgotten momentarily about the axing of the 'RKO news department, which I think they have substituted with a FOX News feed. Just keep diminishing that unique local content, Entercomm. And Tommy F. doesn't count - unless the new planned format is going to be "Hack Radio". Is Billy Bulger available on weekends?
