As people headed to work in Boston, the area's leading all-news radio station was filled with Brown get-out-the-vote ads. He was getting a similar boost from the conservative-leaning hosts of the area's leading sports talk station.

A TPM reader confirms that the sports radio hosts are pushing for Brown:
I listen to WEEI online all the time (weei.com); it's the hugely popular Boston sports radio. Every regular sports guy/gal in Mass and greater New England listens to WEEI. They've been talking about the election all day today, and they'll be talking about it all day tomorrow. 8 out of 10 daily WEEI radio hosts is a huge Republican.
