WTIC Will Continue As The Connecticut Voice Of The Red Sox

Big news here in Connecticut. WTIC had reupped with Entercom Communications to again be the voice of the Red Sox for Connecticut, and much of the east coast. This from the Courant, and then a comment......

"Red Sox games on WTIC-AM became a yearly occurrence starting in 1960, but the relationship goes back a full 50 years. That relationship will now extend to 2007 and beyond.
WTIC 1080 signed a multiyear contract Thursday with Entercom Communications, keeping the Red Sox on the 50,000-watt station based in Farmington. Terms of the deal were not released.
The announcement comes three months after WTIC flirted with becoming an affiliate of the Yankees.
"We're thrilled our longest partner is back with us," Red Sox vice president of broadcast services Chuck Steedman said. "They were never away. For us, WTIC is synonymous with Connecticut, and we like to think we're a big part of that. Fifty years in one place is pretty amazing. It's really important that a very loud and clear voice like WTIC be the beacon for us."

Peter here. The entire article is linked when you click on the title of this post. WTIC, with its 50,000 watts of AM power, can be heard all the way to the Carolinas at night. I remember oh so well sitting in the driveway of the house we rented in Lancaster Penn., where I attended college, listening to the Sox play on the car radio. 300 miles from Hartford!
Congrats WTIC....we'll be listening. And, oh yeah....I LIVE in Farmington. Talk about a hometown treat!
