This is a no-brainer for Patriots fans. The new station is the Pats' flagship and naturally is going to have more football talk. I've made the switch. I'll check in with WEEI occasionally during the season, though. The biggest bonus of all is getting away from Mike Adams and his adolescent chatter at night. Can't stand the guy and his fixation on 1960s-'70s baseball. I'd rather listen to paint dry.

Sorry they dumped all over you Maverick.

Your voice is much higher than I thought it would be.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That point alone is why I am now listening to the new station all the time.

The "celebrity" moron callers are just that; 99% of them (the toothless loser from Gloucester, Steve from Fall River, Dakota from Braintree, John from Medford, etc, etc) are all one trick ponies. I am sick and tired of the same rants over and over and over from them; the only good callers to EEI were the random guys.

Anyone who calls constantly to talk radio is not wrapped too tight..............

You have got to be kidding - the waterboys and Lobel??? I inadvertently landed there on the dial one day last week and they were apparently discussing Varitek and that had somehow meandered them down memory lane to Fisk and Gedman...whom Lobie remembered like it was yesterday while his young sidekicks admittedly had no first person recollection whatsoever... Riveting...

WEEI in comparison, sound like a bunch of stale old pretentious blowhards.
I totally agree...

WEEI has gone downhill a lot...

I cannot stand Dennis & Callahan in the morning...it's not even a sports show! It's like listening to Rush Limbaugh or FOX News or something...

I hadn't caught Gary and Zo yet so I just tuned in and it's apparently Redsox hour... Varitek's neck and the 4th starter on a team 6+ games out. Until their feed cut out and it went to commercial to fill the air...

The morning show won't fly given it's limited demographic appeal. Felger and Maz present their own set of problems and given the committments WEEI has locked up via Patriots Monday and Friday...

The new PM guy has no access or basis so listening to him is like listening to an impersonal and unconnected observer from ESPN or FOX talk Boston sports. His call in guests are mediots. That's paint drying.

I'm gonna turn off the sox talk now...

Funny you mentioned that about Zo and Tanguay today. Yesterday they said, "today we are talking some baseball but tomorrow will be wall to wall football". So much for that.

DA is still making contacts in Boston. I would give him time. I honestly have not listened to him. I'll check him out soon enough. However, I have no problem with national guys calling in and giving a different perspective than what I can read in the local papers.

I think the morning show will do fine. It did great numbers on BCN and with the college kids coming back soon, it will see an increase in listenership. They pride themselves on doing "guy radio". I find some of it humorous, other parts are immature and annoying but they strive to be the anti-D&C.

Also, it should be noted that the July PPM ratings show WEEI's ratings dropping BEFORE the launch of 98.5...

That's not a big enough sample size. These guys are way better than EEI consistently, especially when it comes to football.

That's just bs... Lobel is virtually unlistenable, that's why WBZ finally cut the cord. And the sidekicks are just that. I surf when I'm in the car so while the comment was from the other day it's based on a larger sample size.
