    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    It was a cheap shot in response to Fred posting that he hoped I die through some sort of Michael Hutchence choking device. Fred deleted those tweets soon after because he's Fred.

    Why would the Athletic buy it? There’s going to be a lot of subscriber overlap and they’ve already effectively stunted the growth of BSJ. Stranger things have happened but it’s just a matter of time at this point.

    The newsroom at LVRJ confirmed today that Bedard no longer works there. 3 months. Not a good look.

    Yes. There were some rumblings that Bedard was trying to sell to the Athletic in the spring, at the same time he was trying to get a job in a pro personnel department, and he was turned away.

    The Greg Hill and Danielle Murr show on 'EEI

    2 Reasons. Hill works cheaper than Callahan and removing Callahan from EEI got Bob Murchison and Shirley Leung from the Globe to stop calling and emailing EEI's advertisers.

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    When you’re a national company in anything you’re going to have sites to provide presence and you’re going to have profit centers that significantly impact company wide margins. That’s what WEEI was. They’re a major reason why Entercom is missing earnings targets.

    Its not how much the spend on talent, it’s how much ad revenue they’re pulling in. WEEI’s ad rates have adjusted down significantly over the last year. They’re also stuck with a financially onerous agreement to broadcast the Red Sox through 2023. The station was a big profit center before and...

    “If you have kids, I hope you outlive them.” While circuitous, it’s not ambiguous.

    https://twitter.com/defnotgg/status/1029477247743414272?s=21 There’s Jim Murray wishing that a caller’s children die. Bertrand implying that Hanley Ramirez can’t read. The strange repeated use of the term “the player” primarily when discussing minority players, seeking to frame them as...

    The state of Boston sports talk radio

    There are things said on 98.5 that are every bit as objectionable as what is said on WEEI, yet never reported on. That’s because 98.5 is seen as affable dad jeans radio, but still... That’s most likely Inarticulate Lou’s complaint.

    Hill pulls the same ratings that Callahan got fired for but he’s viewed as safe. Go into the tweets of Hill and Spaz, it’s littered with homo this and fag that. Murchison may be back for seconds. It’s completely dishonest for Leung to ignore that the WEEI morning show got gutted, and then...

    The Baseball Paper’s Op-Ed editor and a sociopathic centimillionaire in Metrowest successfully conspired to kill a radio station. Do you want to stake your livelihood on trying to make Mike Mutnansky listenable? Gerry was winding down but two years ago that was the most popular local show in...

    There isn’t enough talent in the Boston market for two radio stations because the dinosaurs - Ordway, Callahan. Shaughnessy, Buckley, etc., were able to hold on for too long and keep young talent from developing. Especially Ordway. WEEI cast a wide net looking for replacements and netted...

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    There is talk about Hillman sliding into the 6-10 there. Callahan won’t work for what they pay Mutnansky, so he’s probably gone. Also, Rich Keene is a cipher. He’s Adam Jones’ sloppy seconds, a desperation move by Joe Zarbano to get younger.

    Big changes at CSNNE and WEEI.com

    They reached out to a lot of people this spring. Andy Hart was about the 10th choice, but the first one to say yes.
