Could Bonneville or Cumulus be interested in WEEI?

Since we're talking about the CBS Entercom deal, I was wondering if WEEI & the 2 others for sale (we don't know yet) could get purchased by Bonneville or maybe Cumulus. (Hubbard is another interest.) First they would have to swap or exchange for the Phoenix, Seattle or St. Louis stations. Bonneville has a good track record in owning sports stations in Seattle, Phoenix & Denver, & Hubbard also owns a couple of WTOP repeaters in the DC area. Is that a possibility?:rolleyes:
 
WAAF could EASILY be put into Cumulus' Worcester cluster though. WXLO already cares somewhat about Boston (and is technically in the Boston market), so it's not like Cumulus Worcester doesn't do business with Boston clients.
 
Is Entercom going to assume CBS Sports Radio? If the network continues, it seems like WEEI is the more likely station to be sold, even though Finn reported both will be kept.

Or, given their experience with news/talk (WTOP), maybe Bonneville will make a grab for WBZ?
Given their AM-TV package down in Atlanta (WSB), I could even see Cox maybe making a grab for both WBZ AM & TV (and either keeping WFXT or—given its current ratings status—making it part of some swap with someone, somewhere else)...or—forget WBZ—go for either WRKO or WHDH and pair it up with WFXT.

Bonneville is a Salt Lake City company that used to own WTOP, they own a handful of radio stations, with the most recent acquisitions in Denver.
They sold WTOP to Hubbard broadcasting in St. Paul, Mn.
Maybe Hubbard could buy WBZ?

Yeah, I guess Hubbard would be the relevant candidate.
