A message from WEEI’s program director: ‘You can’t handle the truth!’ 08.11.10 at 5:09 pm ET
By WEEI

From Jason Wolfe, WEEI program director

Glad to see the Herald and now the Globe correct their mistakes with regard to their recent stories about WEEI’s ratings. I know they’re going to write a lot about sports radio and its ratings, and they should, because Boston is a sports cr…azy town! Just be accurate about it.

If they mess it up again, does anybody think I can pull off Nicholson in A Few Good Men? “You can’t handle the truth!”

Excerpt from Boston Globe, August 10, 2010: Clarification: In a Page One story in yesterday’s paper about WEEI and WBZ-FM, a reference to “Providence listeners’’ being included in WEEI’s ratings should have made clear that it meant Boston-area listeners who tune in to WEEI’s Providence affiliate (103.7 FM). Arbitron does include those listeners in measuring total audience share for the Boston market, and using those numbers WEEI finished first with an 8.3 share.

Here is the direct link to the Globe correction.

    When was the last time ANYONE from weei’s (hwerald koolaid drinking staff) mentioned that the globes audience (audit bureau of circulation figures) outranks the heralds by a 4 to 1 margin. 418,529 for BG vs. 95,635 for BH.
    The answer: NEVER !!!!!!

    98.5 is better period.
    The hosts listen to the callers they engage in conversation and they don’t talk about politics. WEEI has gotten so arrogant over the years because they
    were the only show in town. They ridicule callers and trust me that turned people off because we sympathized with the person being ridiculed and when 98.5 turned up it was easy to go there. Even now WEEI hasn’t learned their lesson they have a s… head on Saturday night just a minor leaguer who when someone doesn’t agree with him shuts him off and then expouses his views for five minutes.
