Mike Missanelli said that there will be a major announcement about the radio station at 5:15 and how they will continue to be the station they are. Could they be flipping?

Well if he said "how they will continue to be the station they are." I would say probably not, and its just some scheduling mix up, new host/show coming ect. Still worth listening, you never know.

It could be just a spring promotion...or possibly a larger reliance on ESPN Radio than they utilize already. I can't see them making a lot of money with their ratings being as low as they are and the amount of local talent they employ (hosts, producers, call screeners, promotions staff etc.) Maybe pairing down to noon to 6 weekdays and the bird the rest of the time could help control costs a little....

I agree. I think Missanelli is the only host who brings in any decent ratings. I know he was starting to beat WIP when Eskin was the host So it wouldn't surprise me, if this "how they will continue to be the station they are." is them cutting costs by going ESPN all but afternoon drive.

I would hate it if ESPN would be in every time slot other than the afternoon drive. I do like Mikey Miss, but I also really like their other shows. They just got former part-time WIP guy Eytan Shander

Starting THIS season for the playoffs. The agreement is for "many years."

Well this basically confirms that GM has no plans of flipping the format in the near future. So hopefully those threads will stop.
No more 4 for 4 spots on WIP I guess, but WIP is probably not that upset, since the sixers bring in the lowest ratings of the big 4 sports.

I think that WIP getting the Phillies has something to do with this. Expect the Flyers to leave WIP after this season too IMO.

Kind of odd that the contract with CBS would expire between the regular season and the playoffs.
