Patriots switching frequencies

Email|Link|Comments (5) Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff July 14, 2009 12:17 PM

Attention radio fans: All Patriots games this season will shift to 98.5 The Sports Hub, which debuts on Thursday, Aug. 13.

The content previously offered on 98.5 is moving up the dial to become Mix 104, as WBCN (104.1) signs off after 41 years on the air. 98.5 The Sports Hub, which will also air Bruins games starting this season, bills itself as Boston's newest and only FM sports station. The station is expected to be dubbed WBZ-FM.

sad day for WBCN, one of my Boston favorites.

I have to say 'bcn's programing in ALL timeslots was getting trounced..

I used to be a loyal listener but Toucher & Rich ruined that even before the timeslot change...

This is awesome, as long as they don't force feed us red sox talk 24/7 like WEEI.
I purchased Sirius NFL radio for the sole reason that WEEI was way too red sox centric. I haven't listened to WEEI in a few years now. Too bad about BCN though.
