Red Sox radio contract in flux

The Boston Red Sox are the only game (baseball) in town and have been since the Braves hustled out of Boston and started their nomadic journey by going to Milwaukee. That left the market firmly in the paws of the Red Sox and they responded with a series of awful teams before getting new life in 1967.

In 2006, the only game in town with sports radio was WEEI (93.7). They had the market and they had the Red Sox with a contract that was $200 Million spread over ten years. And in radio that is an incredible commitment and disaster can happen and it did.
