Hello, I do not consider myself an audio purist, but I have noticed an audio quality difference between WEEI 850 and WBOQ 104.9 when broadcasting Red Sox games. I upgraded my Dish receiver to HD during the off season and looking forward to watching the Red Sox in HD. I still listen to the game

We can't get TastyKake here in the boonies of southern Virginia. Then again they don't know what good pastrami is either. LOL. As this is the list for WinterFest I know I should keep this on a radio theme. Regarding baseball games on FM, the prevailing wisdom in the broadcast and adv

Each city has their own local sponsors that add "flavor" to the games...years back TastyKake was a big Phillies sponsor ("...Mike Schmidt is swinging for a case of TastyKake for Richard Cuff of Allentown, PA..."). I remember Esskay Meats and Ledo Pizza being big Orioles sponsors. I am not sure I

Hello, I can usually pick up WPHT 1210 at night up here in Boston and listened to the Phillies games at times instead of using the XM feed. XM uses the home team feed, so this is handy when the Phillies are away. Hatfield Quality Meats is usually an advertiser for the games. They are over in

With the Mets slipping to minor league status, it's a surprise that their flagship remains 50kW "clear channel" WFAN in New York. A 5kW regional (980-WOFX) that's carried them for years up here in the Capital Region recently announced it was switching to the Red Sox this year. Oddly enough, no

Phillies baseball games are being added to FM 94.1 (WIP-FM, the old WYSP) as of the coming season. 50 kW Clear channel WPHT (legacy WCAU) will still air the games as well, but it's one of those "signs of the times" that AM radio continues to fall out of favor. I grew up with a transistor radio un
