” There were industry rumors about possible changes all season long. One, which multiple generators have said was a genuine deliberation, had WEEI lowering the concept of a conventional radio baseball broadcast to establish the call of the game audio more like a talk display .”
The question is what sort of talent they’ll use to replace Neverett , now that they’re denying such reports of a shift in logics. The answer seems muddled.
If they did elect to take a different approach, it’s not altogether clear how that might appear. While sports talk radio is also possible entertaining, video games broadcasts on WEEI have importance in that they are entirely unlike the other evidences on the terminal. The talk radio appearance schtick would likely detract and confuse from the facts and events in the game. And the audience might not take kindly to a change. Imagine settling in for a loosening baseball broadcast and getting a play-by-play with splash of hot takes. It would be a strange experimentation for a normally mellowed baseball broadcast.
As pious as this sounds, game broadcasts should remain sacred from the( entertaining) madness that takes place in the other hours of the sport radio schedule.
