WEEI is a sports radio station in Boston, Massachusetts that broadcasts on 850 kHz from a transmitter in Needham, Massachusetts. The station is one of the top rated sports talk radio stations in the nation. Studios are located in Brighton, Massachusetts.

WEEI's local programming is heard on a network of stations that broadcast throughout the New England region.

History

WEEI traces its roots to its original owner, Edison Electric Illuminating (hence the call letters). Edison placed the station on the air on 590 kHz in 1924. ["Boston Globe", article, "Edison Co Opens New Station, WEEI", September 30, 1924, page 6] In 1926, WEEI became a charter member of the NBC "Red" radio network and remained an NBC "Red" affiliate until 1937, when the station was purchased by CBS and became an affiliate of that network. Until 1960, WEEI, through CBS Radio, was the last Boston radio station to devote a large amount of its program schedule to "traditional" network radio programming of daytime soap operas, comedy shows, variety shows, and similar fare.

For the remainder of the 1960s, WEEI was New England's first talk-radio station and home of such hosts as Howard Nelson, Jim Westover and of course, Paul Benzaquin, one of the most popular radio talk show hosts in Boston history. The '60s also saw the daily "WEEIdea" feature that presented cleaning and cooking tips from housewives.

Although its talk radio format was popular, the station went all-news in 1974, following the lead of several other CBS-owned stations. At first, WEEI wasn't 24/7 all-news; the station's late-night schedule featured the "CBS Radio Mystery Theater", an attempt to revive radio drama, as well as a local overnight talk show with Bruce Lee (no relation to the martial-arts actor), a holdover from the previous format. But by the end of the 1970s, WEEI was all-news around the clock.

In 1982, CBS sold WEEI to Helen Broadcasting, which retained the all-news format. In 1991, the station was sold to the Boston Celtics, and became a sports station. Upon the change to all-sports, WEEI featured the Andy Moes show and "Glenn (Ordway) and Janet (Prensky)", a short-lived experiment in bringing a "Bickersons"-type format to sports radio. Also part of the roster was Boston sports talk pioneer Eddie Andelman.

'The Voice of Sports,' WHDH-AM 850

In 1994, WEEI was acquired by Back Bay Broadcasting, which sold the call letters and all-sports programming of WEEI to American Radio Systems. ["Boston Globe", article, "Celtics Sell WEEI for $3.8m", by Jack Craig, March 17, 1994, Sec. 1. pg. 41] ARS then placed the intellectual property of WEEI on the 850 kHz frequency that was previously home to WHDH-AM.

WHDH 850 had a long history, along with its rival WBZ-AM 1030, as one of Boston's leading full-service radio stations. The station featured the legendary comedy team of Bob and Ray before they departed for national fame in New York, then for 34 years was anchored by morning personality Jess Cain, along with other preeminent air talent such as Norm Nathan. It played jazz, big band, MOR and, in the mid-1970s, Top 40 music. It also featured talk radio programs hosted by Avi Nelson, and, later, David Brudnoy. But while WHDH-AM was never "all sports," it was easily Boston's top sports station during the 1950s through the end of the 1960s. It called itself "The Voice of Sports."

For 30 consecutive years (1946-75), WHDH-AM was the flagship station of the Boston Red Sox, featuring play-by-play announcers such as Jim Britt, Ford C. Frick Award-winning Curt Gowdy, Ken Coleman and Ned Martin. Prior to 1951, it also broadcast the Boston Braves, the city's National League baseball club (the Red Sox and Braves then only broadcast home games, thus the teams shared the same announcers and did not have schedule conflicts).

During the winter months, WHDH and WHDH-FM (now 94.5 WJMN-FM) were the flagship stations of the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association and the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, employing such legendary announcers as Johnny Most, Fred Cusick and Bob Wilson. For a single season, Jim Lang was the announcer for Bruins games and brought unprecedented candor to the job. WHDH also was the radio home of Harvard University football in the autumn.

In addition, the original WHDH-TV (Channel 5) was the flagship station of the Red Sox TV network from 1958 through 1971, while WHDH-AM produced an early weekly sports roundtable show, also called "The Voice of Sports," featuring baseball writers from the Boston Herald-Traveler (which owned the station until 1974), various figures from Major League Baseball, and longtime WHDH-TV sports director Don Gillis. No calls were taken during the show, which featured lively debate among the writers. In 1972-73, "The Voice of Sports" became a daily, afternoon drive telephone-talk program hosted by longtime Boston sportscaster Leo Egan, but it failed to take root.

WHDH-AM began to lose its valuable properties in 1969, when the Bruins and Celtics were wooed away by WBZ. Then the Herald-Traveler Corporation's license to operate Channel 5 was revoked by the Federal Communications Commission, effective March 19, 1972. Stung by the loss of its highly profitable TV station, the Herald-Traveler Corp. was put on the market, and acquired by the Hearst Corporation in June 1972. Less than two years later, WHDH-AM and its FM sibling (by this time called WCOZ-FM) were sold to Blair Radio, a national radio station advertising representative. WHDH then lost the Red Sox after the 1975 regular season; it would not carry their games again until 1983-85. The station's last major sports property was the New England Patriots during the late 1980s.

In early 1990, WHDH-AM was sold to local businessman David Mugar, whose New England Television owned Boston CBS affiliate WNEV-TV Channel 7. By that March, with the sale already complete, Channel 7's call letters became WHDH-TV to correspond with WHDH-AM, and NETV became NETV & Radio. Mugar was hoping to bring back a main competitor to Boston's perennial WBZ television and WBZ radio duopoly, with a renewed emphasis on a news and straight talk format. Some sports programs remained, but news and talk were main priorities. Among the personalities to arrive in the early 1990s were mostly talents from within NETV, including TV newscaster Ted O'Brien. However, by 1993, NETV & Radio was already in trouble due to increasing debt, and when Mugar announced WHDH-TV was being sold to Sunbeam later that year, the days were numbered for WHDH-AM. The radio station, after WHDH-TV was sold off, remained the last property under Mugar's company, and received a one year stay of execution. By the following spring, it was announced that WHDH-AM would vacate the Boston airwaves entirely, and give the 850 AM dial position to another company. Back Bay Broadcasting earned the position at that point. WHDH-AM's final broadcast, in August 1994, was the death of a beloved heritage radio station in Boston, but had its void filled well by the eventual success of WEEI on 850 AM.

The Rise of 'Sportsradio 850 WEEI'

With the Red Sox coming to WEEI in 1995, they returned to the 850 kHz frequency. ["Boston Globe", City Edition, article, "Change in the air for WEEI", by Jim Greenidge, December 16, 1994, page A4]

In 1998, American Radio Systems was acquired by CBS. As a result of the merger, the combined company was forced to sell several of its Boston stations. In late 1998, Entercom announced plans to acquire WEEI, along with WAAF, WRKO, WVEI and WEGQ, from CBS for $140 million.

The station is popular with fans of the Boston professional sports teams, especially the Boston Red Sox. WEEI calls itself "the #1 rated sports radio talk station in America," in terms of the percentage of the area radio listening audience tuned-in. WEEI isn't alone in providing 24/7 sports radio in Boston; local competition includes WAMG - ESPN 890 Boston and WWZN - 1510 The Zone.

WEEI was awarded its first Marconi Award in September 2006 for [http://www.rwonline.com/dailynews/one.php?id=9776 sports station of the year.] WEEI was also named large market station of the year.

WEEI is the co-flagship station of the WEEI Red Sox Radio Network with sister station WRKO, where all Red Sox radio broadcasts originate. It is also the flagship station of the Boston Celtics, beginning with the 2007-2008 season. In addition, WEEI broadcasts games of the New England Revolution (with conflicted games airing on WRKO), and Boston College football and basketball teams in season. Sports talk shows such as Dennis and Callahan (6-10 a.m. Monday through Friday), Dale and Holley (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.), The Big Show (2 p.m. - 6 p.m.), Planet Mikey (6 p.m. - 11 p.m.), and Red Sox Review(11 p.m. - 1 a.m.) air on weekdays. The programs are hosted, respectively by John Dennis and Jerry Callahan-Flash boy Meterparel (produced by Chach and Ian), Dale Arnold and Michael Holley (produced by Rene' and Jimmy Stewart), Glenn Ordway- flash boy Pete Sheppard (Produced by Andy and Brett), Mike Adams- flash boy Jon Ryder (produced by Jason Pothier and Joey the Fish) and Jon Rish. On weekends the signature show is The Mustard and Johnson Show with Craig Mustard and Larry Johnson (9 a.m. - 2 p.m. in most cases). When local programming isn't on WEEI, usually Fox Sports Radio will air. WEEI is Fox Sports Radio's highest rated station and was an ESPN Radio affiliate for several years before switching to Fox.

In April 2005, WEEI began streaming its broadcasts live online by way of a free membership at its official site (or at this link: http://wmc1.liquidviewer.net/WEEI or http://webclust1.liquidcompass.cc/entercom/audio_player.php?id=WEEI). The exception is for Red Sox and Celtics games, as these are streamed only through the team and league websites as part of subscription packages.

The station has an ongoing feud with the Boston Globe. In 1999, the Globe's executive sports editor, Don Skwar, banned the newspaper's sports writers from appearing on the station's afternoon "The Big Show" after columnist Ron Borges used a racial slur while on the air in reference to New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu. Two weeks later, the ban was extended to WEEI's Dennis & Callahan morning show. WEEI retaliated by banning Globe staffers from all its shows. Nevertheless, WEEI host Michael Holley is a former Globe columnist. [ [http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/dont_quote_me/multi-page/documents/01230893.htm Don't Quote Me | ] ]

The Red Sox on WEEI

Red Sox broadcasts were a daily feature of the WEEI Red Sox Radio Network slate from March through October. Each broadcast consists of:
* A pre-game show; The Pregame show is recorded from an air studio inside Fenway Park right next to gate c in WEEI air studio
* The Inside Pitch, a segment with a member of the local sports journalism establishment;
* "(optional)" A pre-game interview with the general manager ;
* A pre-game interview with the manager (currently Terry Francona);
* The game intro itself, a compilation of great moments in Red Sox broadcast history;
* The game itself, with Joe Castiglione broadcasting with either Dave O'Brien, Dale Arnold or Jon Rish. Previous to the 2007 season, Castiglione was partnered with long-time co-broadcaster Jerry Trupiano.
* A post-game interview;
* Post-game statistics (called "totals");
* A highlights clip for those who missed the early part of the game;
* A roundup of out of town scores;
* and a signoff tag.

During game broadcasts, WEEI is also made available through the Major League Baseball Web page (for a fee), and (for home games) on XM Satellite Radio (as part of the standard service) for those outside the Boston listening area. The entire 162-game Red Sox schedule also may be heard on an extensive radio network throughout the 6 New England States. Many of the smaller stations have always aired the Red Sox Network regardless of what Boston station originated those broadcasts.

The Boston Red Sox recently signed a 10 year radio deal with sister WRKO-AM (also owned by Entercom) for the broadcast rights for the 2007 through 2016 seasons, worth a reportedly $13 million a season [http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20060508&content_id=1443455&vkey=pr_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos radio deal] . About 30 Red Sox games a season, including all games on Wednesday nights and all weekly day games will still be heard on WEEI as part of the deal.

The Boston Celtics on WEEI

Sean Grande hosts the Celtics Tonight pregame show before each Celtics game on WEEI in addition to providing the play by play for the game.

Dennis and Callahan controversy

The station was home to a major local controversy in October 2003, when morning hosts John Dennis and Gerry Callahan had the following exchange about a photo of a gorilla that had escaped from the Franklin Park Zoo:

Callahan: "They caught him at a bus stop, right -- he was like waiting to catch a bus out of town."

Dennis: "Yeah, yeah -- he's a METCO gorilla."

Callahan: "Heading out to Lexington."

Dennis: "Exactly."

Initially, it was believed that Dennis had said the gorilla was "probably a Metco gorilla waiting for a bus to take him to Lexington" and Dennis was suspended for two days. The radio station attempted to immediately cover up the incident, claiming that recordings of the comments had been lost. However, after mounting public outrage, the two hosts were given longer suspensions, sent to multiple rounds of sensitivity training, and forced to apologize. WEEI also agreed to provide free advertising for the METCO program on the radio station.

Both the station and the hosts have tried their best to put the controversy behind them, going so far as to mute on-air callers who attempt to mention the incident. Regardless of the damage they have done to the hosts' and station's reputation, the comments by Dennis and Callahan have not been shown to have had any long-term negative effect on the ratings of the morning show.

imulcasts

A number of other stations in the New England region carry most of WEEI's local programming. The stations are branded as "WEEI Sports Radio", and many carry call letters similar to the Boston flagship station.

WEEI's sports play-by-play broadcasts are generally distributed separately, though some games originated by WEEI may air on some of the other affiliated stations by way of a separate deal. Some of the stations have picked up play-by-play rights in concert with WEEI after their conversion to the simulcast.

*WGEI 95.5 FM, Topsham, Maine
*WAEI 97.1 FM, Bangor, Maine
*WABI 910 AM, Bangor, Maine
*WEEY 93.5 FM Swanzey, New Hampshire

Entercom's initial plan to syndicate WEEI programming was to place it on stations owned by Nassau Broadcasting in 13 more markets, but the deal between the two companies ended up collapsing.
