So we won't get to hear "...and the Boston Red Sox are the World Champions! Can YOU believe it?" this year?
Not sure if I posted it but the MLB rules say that only the
network flagship (in Boston & Denver) can have the local
broadcast in World Series (similar reg. with Super Bowl).
Everyone OUTSIDE Boston got ESPN feed instead.
I did hear Joe C. and Glenn Geffner (and O’Brien,
who does the pre-game then is off to do “ESPN
International”) via WEEI tonight at work
Games 1 and 6: WEEI 850 Boston (”Wed. Night Sox”)
Others: WRKO 680 Boston
Below is from Boston Radio Watch by Mark Schnyder:
>>
For the World Series, Red Sox Radio Network broadcasts can only go out on WRKO AM 680 or WEEI 850 AM signals. Rest of the network won’t be able to carry the hometown play-by-play meaning that the fans in Metro West won’t be getting Joe Castiglione’s another World Series call on WCRN AM 830’s 50,000 watt signal but will have to rely on WRKO AM’s iffy nighttime signal which battles static and a French-speaking station from Canada after sunset. 890 ESPN will have the national ESPN Radio call of the Fall Classic with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.
