  • WCAX Channel 3 Sports Anchors on NESN WCAX Channel 3 sports director Mike McCune will appear as a guest on NESN’s Boston Red Sox pre-game shows, joining NESN host Tom Caron and Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley, Jim Rice, Peter Gammons, and former MLB slugger Matt Stairs.
  • WCAX Channel 3 Weather Updates on NESNThe WCAX Channel 3 weather team, led by meteorologist Sharon Meyer,  will deliver northern New England area weather updates to NESN viewers in Vermont, Northern New Hampshire and Maine during NESN’s Red Sox pre and post-game shows.
