So, I went to turn on WAVZ 1300am (New Haven) while at work March 28 to listen to the NY Mets Opening Day Broadcast, much to my surprise there was syndicated ESPN programming on this long time Mets' affiliate. As there was no news about it, website or otherwise, I thought it was a programming glitch.
Indeed no, the Mets switch to WCBS 880 am as their flagship, an Entercom station, resulted in the termination of all radio affiliates. Truly perplexing as the Yankees flagship is WFAN, also an Entercom station, and they have close to two dozen affiliates. Both stations are 50,000 watt Class A broadcasters.
