As WEEI’s noon and afternoon scores proceed to wrestle, the Boston radio station has introduced a significant shakeup.
The noon present with Andy Gresh and Christian Fauria, “Gresh and Fauria,” isn’t any extra — and the afternoon present with Adam Jones, Meghan Ottolini (previously of the Herald) and Christian Arcand, “Jones and Mego,” is breaking apart.
Jones and weeknight host Wealthy Keefe are reuniting for a brand new noon present referred to as “Jones and Keefe.” The pair beforehand had a present on 98.5 The Sports Hub, which has now been dominating the native radio marketplace for a number of years.
In the meantime, the station is elevating Andy Hart as afternoon present co-host alongside Arcand, which might be referred to as “The WEEI Afternoon Show.”
Ottolini will stay with the station as a full-time author, succeeding Hart, and as a fill-in on-air host.
“These exciting updates bring together a dynamic mix of talent with New England roots that will continue to deliver top-tier content to Boston’s biggest sports fans,” Mike Thomas, senior VP and market supervisor of Audacy Boston, mentioned in an announcement.
“Adam Jones and Rich Keefe’s notable on-air styles and rapport will energize our midday show, while Andy Hart and Christian Arcand’s experience will help bolster afternoon drive,” Thomas added. “We’re looking forward to this next chapter of WEEI weekdays continuing to make WEEI the go-to destination for everything Boston sports.”
The morning present “The Greg Hill Show,” which has been drawing stable scores, will not be a part of the shakeup.
Along with the brutal scores for the noon and afternoon exhibits, these strikes come within the wake of Audacy rising from chapter following a drop of a number of billion {dollars} in radio advert spending. George Soros’ funding agency turned the biggest shareholder of Audacy.
Then Audacy within the spring introduced “difficult but necessary” cuts, together with shedding a WEEI Patriots reporter on the eve of the NFL Draft.
