A former student of mine is a Sports Hub personality. He used to work at EEI and has seen the light for a while—it sounds like they have a lot of little issues getting in the way of improvement. Since he's left, 98.5 has increased dramatically in market share.

Sorry you lost your station. I don't listen to sports radio at all—including when my student is live—but I LOVE to read his stuff.

Now through July 6, SiriusXM is free, www.siriusxm.com/offers/free-listen

Haven't heard Howard Cosell or Howard Stern in years, now's your free opportunity ....... Howard Stern is on channel 100-Howard Stern Show and channel 101-Howard Stern World ....... not sure about Howard Cosell ......... hey COSELL ....... where are you! ...... maybe on Ch-148, classic radio shows.

If George Carlin can have his own channel, Ch-770, The One and Only George Carlin, then Howard Cosell definitely deserves his own channel, too ...... alive today, ladies and gentlemen, where's Howard Cosell from the graveyard of radio!

Like the President likes to say; so, what have you got to lose?

Inquiring minds want to know. Let's see, who has left WEEI and gone to 98.5 over the past few years? I guess technically Felger & Mazz (but they are older than you and couldn't be your student). Couldn't be Toucher & Rich or Zolack & Bertrand, since they never were with WEEI. Perhaps it is the Dark Knight, the Sports Vulture?

One of my favorite teaching stories: I met Ty in the fall of his sophomore year when he'd run into my homeroom, scream out the T stops between his home and the Garden, and scoot off.

After the second day, I hid behind my door and jumped out before he could run away. He thought he was in trouble, I assigned him a Bruins article for the school newspaper. The rest is history.

Smile Talk Radio

96.9 Boston talk radio. With Michael Graham unbelievably entertaining.
Keeping politics out of this venue I will not venture as to why it went silent.

Pretty obvious as to why and not all just a matter of politics per say.

Radio in general is fading fast as a preferred medium people want to listen to. Not when you can get whatever you want streamed to you over the internet.
