>>a morning drive-time slot
WRKO could tell Howie he can have morning drive and put
the Felon on in afternoons
>>without the threat of sports preemption
No sports pre-emption with a morning show; and if he
wanted to keep doing 3-7 (for salary they’re offering)
they can say, “no baseball pre-emption this yr after Sox
are doing with playoffs...spring training next year,
we’ll put those games on WEEI...regular season? Most games
start no earlier than 7 pm—afternoon games are on WEEI—
and we could have WEEI carry that pre-game show at 6:30
and WRKO picks up game at 7. No pre-emptions (again, IF
they tried to get him to “honor the contract” but kept
him in afternoons)
there were other advantages to WTKK though like FM
signal that doesn’t fade after sunset; supposed
younger audience; etc
I doubt that Entercom would agree to that - Carr would be in direct competition with D&C on WEEI.
