Probably the biggest audience he's ever had.

Major brand Unilever threatened to pull its ads from offending media and shook things up this week.

Phony news, racist and extremist and sexist content have created a "swamp" with which Unilever does not want to be associated, Weed reportedly plans to say.

But lets not kid ourselves about "training" eei has made a decision about how it can be #1 in morning drive and they aren't deviating from that. They are personality driven it isn't content that their listener wants. For the umpteenth time we have to listen (or not) to how the third man in the booth sucks and Kirk is ready to walk out.

Football season is over, but football talk is on the radio.
I am enjoying PFT.

In San Diego the Padres are thinking of ending their relationship with their new flagship station, owned by Entercom, over insensitive tweets and a host with a history of controversy.WEEI had had controversies but it hasn't gotten that far yet...
Entercom has at least one other station I know of that's a baseball flagship, as they recently got KDKA-FM in Pittsburgh.

Stations in peril of losing contracts over behavior...
