Rich Shertenlieb Returns to Boston Radio on WEEI

Audacy’s sports talk WEEI-AM/FM, Boston announces that Rich Shertenlieb will co-host a new afternoon drive show with Ken Laird and Ted Johnson. Shertenlieb most recently hosted mornings on WZLX with Johnson as co-host. Prior to that he co-hosted mornings on WBZ-FM “98.5 The Sports Hub” with Fred Toucher for 14 years before an acrimonious parting. Audacy SVP of programming and sports format vice president Mike Thomas says, “Rich is one of the most dynamic and entertaining voices in Boston media, with a proven ability to connect with audiences across platforms. Paired with Ted’s championship pedigree and insight, and Ken’s deep understanding of the station and its audience, this show brings together a unique combination of credibility, energy and perspective that will resonate with Boston sports fans.” Shertenlieb says, “I’m thrilled to be at WEEI and reunite with my buddy and one of my favorite colleagues, Ted Johnson, and work with Ken to see what we can build together. The station’s connection to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund makes this deeply personal, given the role those organizations have played in saving my wife’s life. I’m grateful for this next chapter and can’t wait to get started.”
