About: WBZ-FM

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	WBZ-FM (98.5 FM) is a commercial sports radio station licensed to Boston, Massachusetts, serving Greater Boston and much of surrounding New England. Owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group, WBZ-FM is the Boston affiliate for Fox Sports Radio, the flagship station for: the New England Patriots, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, and New England Revolution radio networks, and the radio home of Fred Toettcher, Rich Shertenlieb, Scott Zolak, Mike Felger, Tony Massarotti, and Adam Jones. The WBZ-FM studios are located in Waltham, while the station transmitter resides in the Boston suburb of Newton. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WBZ-FM broadcasts over two HD Radio channels, and is available online. Despite the call sign, WBZ-FM has no connection to either WBZ-TV or WBZ: WBZ-TV owner Paramount Global holds the trademark for "WBZ" and has licensed the rights to the WBZ call letters to Beasley under a long-term agreement that followed CBS Corporation's divestiture of CBS Radio, WBZ-FM's previous owner, to Audacy.
