I kinda wish Trenni was on the morning show more. And I generally disagree with her on things, but its great radio when she's on.
I'm a Trenni guy but she's great once a week

Rumors are flying that in 2017 NESN will move 30 Red Sox games and 15 Bruins games to WHDH-TV Channel 7 which becomes an independent station on January 1.
Games would continue to be seen on NESN outside of the Boston DMA. Fenway Sports Group in return would acquire a partial ownership stake of Channel 7.
This could be interesting. A huge opportunity for both parties and, of course, good for the fans.
Wow. It would be nice to throw a bone to those who cut the cord and have a few games on "free TV" again.
Keefe on with Dale and Holley seems like it could be forced. I like Keefe and WEEI is trying to shift their demographics so it's worth a try, but these type of moves quite often don't have the desired outcomes.
NBC Boston has signed on with a couple more cable companies. RCN and Charter are the major holdouts with 3 1/2 weeks to go.

Great...Rich Keefe is a conspiracy theorist who thinks we faked the moon landing.
Give the guy a chance. One day and bashing already. Everyone forgets their first day on the job.
Faced with the growing concerns of legislators that Boston viewers will be shut out of NBC programming, Comcast Monday said it has entered a deal with WMFP that will extend the reach of its new NBC Boston O&O.
In a letter to Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Comcast senior executive VP David Cohen said the new station, WBTS, will be rebroadcast on WMFP’s digital channel, which runs religious programming, until the company can buy a second full-powered station in Boston.
Cohen said retransmitting the signal via WMFP, as well as the two transmitters and low-powered station Comcast already purchased, will strengthen WBTS’ signal so much that it will reach 275,000 viewers more than the current NBC affiliate, Sunbeam’s WHDH, does. WBTS is officially launching Jan. 1 on a digital subchannel of WNEU, NBC’s New Hampshire-based Telemundo station. Over-the-air viewers will be able to watch the station on channels 8.1, 60.2 and 60.5
Is WHDH going to survive with Family Fued re-runs and news?
If any further proof is required that Boston’s special dedication to the Bruins has been fully revived by this year’s team, the phenomenal Nielsen ratings for Game 7 should rest the case for good.
NBC’s Game 7 telecast earned a 43.4 household rating (up a staggering 30 percent from Game 6’s remarkable 33.3) and a 68 share in the Boston market.
It was the highest single-game rating in this market for any major sports championship featuring a Boston team since the Super Bowl XLII matchup between the Patriots and Giants logged a 55.6 on Feb. 3, 2008.
The Bruins’ seven-game average for the Stanley Cup Final — with five games airing on NBC and two on Versus — was a 28.1 in Boston, topping the 25.0 the Celtics’ seven-game 2010 NBA Finals series against the Lakers earned on ABC.
I still don't even know what's happening. Local channel 7 will remain but a new channel is being introduced and will take some of the programming from old channel 7? Dumb it down for me
