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.

WEEI FM 103.7 and WVEI FM 105.5 had the ESPN feed for the WS. I have the MLB audio package so I can listen to the Red Sox radio feed. The MLB audio is on a 20 to 30 second delay from the realtime action.

I sure am glad that we get the local Denver radio station. I can't stand listening to Joe Morgan on ESPN. I'm sure that he's a really nice guy, buy his "analysis" drives me nuts.

Congratulations to the Sox nation tonight. We'll hope to do better against you Thursday night (I don't think that we can do any worse...)

For those folks who have XM Radio...they have the option of listening to the Boston feed, the Colorado feed, ESPN feed and Spanish feed. Needless to say I choose the Boston feed. Brings back great memories of Fenway Park.

Wow, once again you are a fountain of information... thank you! That really sux that we're stuck with the awful Jon Miller and Joe Morgan down here in WTIC 1080 AM-land. I really wanted to hear Joe C. call the game, delay and all. Guess we'll have to stick with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver on Fox.

but will have to rely on WRKO AM’s iffy nighttime signal which battles static and a French-speaking station from Canada after sunset.

Hmmm... we get a French-speaking radio station only at night here, about 20 miles north of Hartford, CT. Wonder if it's the same one...
