Celtics No Longer On WEEI

[PhoSita]

Per Chad Finn.  Starting this season, Celtics no longer on WEEI.  Not clear at this time which radio station will air Celtics games.

Another blow to WEEI. 

Live broadcast rights are huge and they can't come to an agreement with the Celtics? Not good. Leaves them with the Sox.

I just hope Grande and Max are carried over to the Celtics new radio home.

they probably wanted a good deal since we're tanking and noones going to be listening on the radio to hear about gerald wallace's 2 pt games and the c's wouldnt budge.

dont be surprised if the celtics dont end up on radio. olynyk will not bring advertisers

Eh, media deals w/ professional sports teams are never that short-sighted.  Even terrible sports teams still draw very strong ratings compared to other stuff.

  When do you think the last time it was that they weren't on the radio?

When there was no radio?

Or there was no Celtics yet.

They'll be on somewhere.  Hopefully FM.

Video killed the radio star?

Not going to happen as long as there are cars that don't drive themselves.

I think internet radio may be what's coming. There are rumblings that the Big Show with Pete The Meat and Big O is coming back via internet radio. Maybe Ordway can work something out with the Celtics?

In my mind, and in my car?

Can't imagine this is a good sign for the C's.

Or is it?

I suppose it could be in the long run if they end up on the Sports Hub, as they are getting stronger ratings.

It just looks to me like the price for broadcasting on WEEI went up as a result of the team not looking as strong this year.
