WVEI-FM (103.7 MHz; "103.7 WEEI") is a radio station broadcasting a sports talk format, largely simulcasting Boston-based WEEI-FM.[3] The station is licensed to Westerly, Rhode Island, United States, and is owned by Audacy, Inc.[4] In addition to WEEI programming, WVEI-FM carries Providence Friars men's basketball,[5] Boston Bruins hockey,[6] and ESPN Radio. Its transmitter is in Exeter, Rhode Island; due to it being mostly a simulcast, its operations are run out of WEEI-FM's studios in Boston's Brighton neighborhood.
