Bos Vs NYY MLB Feed was ESPN on Sunday

Why was the XM MLB feed of the Red Sox Yankees game the ESPN Radio feed? I wanted the local WEEI feed not the ESPN feed. Can anybody explain? Icould still get the local feed on AM radio but it was scratchy.

It probably has something to do with the national Sunday night baseball radio rights belonging to ESPN. The only reason XM was able to get MLB is that ESPN relinquished thier exclusive satellite rights.
 
XM uses the ESPN Radio feed whenever possible. XM also used the ESPN Radio feed for Saturday's Bos vs NYY game. IF ESPN is not carrying the game, then XM will almost always go with the home team's feed.
