Wow. I haven’t been traveling as much this year and hadn’t caught that many radio innings, but tonight I heard Josh say “the Bob Murphy broadcast booth proudly sponsored by Bigelow Tea” or words to that effect.
We here at MP had been offended in recent years by the boiler company sponsorship being the alleged namesake of the booth (as in The Boiler Company Broadcast Booth). We proposed using phrasing such as “proudly sponsors the Bob Murphy broadcast booth” – which is what Bigelow Tea is doing.
I don’t know if this is new or has been happening for a while but it was the first time I heard it and it made me happy.
Great job Bigelow, WOR and the sales team.

metspolice pretty sure it’s a new sponsor — heard Howie refer to it over the weekend for the first time.
metspolice Joe Torre was a spokesman for years
metspolice I just heard Howie just say “Bigelow Tea broadcast booth” with no reference to dearly departed Mets broadcasters
