When Kirk Minihane was forced out of WEEI by Boston Globe editor Shirley Leung, activist Bob Murchison, and Red Sox management, the station took a huge ratings dive.
Spring radio ratings (m25-54): Sports Hub (9.2, 1st). WEEI (4.9 including stream, VEI, 5th; 4.6 w/o)
Mornings: T&R (9.1, 1st). M&C (6.5, t-5th; 5.7, 6th w/o stream/VEI)
Midday: Z&B (9.5, 3rd). D&K 6.2. 5.6 w/o, 4th)
Afternoons: F&M (12.1, 1). OMF (5.4, 4.9 w/o stream/VEI, 4th)— Chad Finn (@GlobeChadFinn) July 11, 2019
But I must confess that I still listened to the Mut and Callahan show in the morning because Gerry was still good radio. Even if you’re not conservative like he is, he’s still interesting and entertaining. More importantly he actually does really well with liberals. Alex Reimer and Gerry have chemistry, and even though they disagree on pretty much everything, they still have good banter and you can tell no one’s taking it personally.
Take this morning for instance. Gerry and Reimer were arguing about Megan Rapinoe and I listened to every word of it. I completely agreed with Gerry, and he’s the only guy on the station who would ever say what millions of people are thinking about that self serving narcissist. But Alex plays his part too, pretending to stand up for her, and it makes for good radio.
Then this happened today.
Well, that was fun. After 20 years in morning drive, I did my last show on WEEI this morning. Thanks to all who listened. Unfortunately, this ain’t a movie. Sometimes the bad guys win. Much more to come.

Thanks. I thought it was a good, fun show. Sadly not everyone agrees. Dark forces at work still. https://t.co/lw3hUnFGaz

And it’s official – I will no longer be listening to WEEI ever again. Even though I have nothing against his replacement.
Entercom Launches "The Greg Hill Morning Show" on WEEI in Boston https://t.co/Wup4sStjpk
— WEEI (@WEEI) July 12, 2019
I’ve always liked Greg Hill. He’s entertaining and good for what he does on WAAF. It was always a good alternative to WEEI if Gerry or Kirk was talking about golf.
But he was good for WAAF, not a sports talk station. And he’s bringing Danielle Mur with him, who again, is good for what she does on WAAF, but really doesn’t belong on a sports talk radio station. Mut is now moving to the night show, where careers go to die.
WAAF is going to play music while they do a nationwide search. And whenever a local radio station does a national search the results are usually God awful. Just ask WEEI how Mike Salk worked out. Remember what an abortion that guy was?
Until then WAAF is going to play music in the morning, and most of Hillman’s followers will just turn to WEEI instead of WAAF. In other words, they think that music on WAAF will get higher ratings than the Mut and Callahan show, and because of how neutered they were attempting to make that show, they might actually be right.
Of course the biggest reason they’re doing this is because the idiots at the top of this powerful company (Entercom) are PETRIFIED of this chud.
This is largely Bob Murchison’s doing, although according to sources being reported from Entercom Boston, the Boston Globe’s Shirley Leung was the bigger factor.

I can’t tell you how infuriating it is to see the Boston Globe pretend to be real news. They haven’t been real news in years. They are an activist propaganda outlet owned by the Red Sox, that harassed WEEI’s advertisers in bad faith until many of them left.
But they worked hand in hand with Murchison. If you need to catch up on who this guy is click here to read the many blogs we’ve published about him. The long and short of it is that he’s an extremely wealthy guy with too much time on his hands, who uses his transgender son as an excuse to lead a never ending crusade to dictate the content of what was once the most popular sports talk radio show in Boston. Murchison probably listens to WEEI every day, takes notes on anything “offensive” Gerry says, then writes down the advertisers so he can harass them relentlessly in bad faith with misleading emails. You can read all of the INSANE emails he sent here. Here’s a small sampling of stuff that producer Joey Zarbano personally sent me, then asked me not to tell anyone because it could get him in trouble.
“These radio personalities have a long history of controversy on race, gender, and sexual orientation.”
Then he links Wikipedia. Wiki-FREAKING-pedia!!
I say that it was done in bad faith because Murchison goes out of his way to misquote, and misrepresent the conversations he was cited as evidence that Kirk and Callahan were problematic. Like this one he copy and posted to all of the advertisers, claiming that Minihane was talking about “children’s bodies.”
The implication there to advertisers is clear – Minihane thinks pedophilia is funny. The large corporations outside of the Boston area probably have no idea who he or Dave Portnoy is, and don’t understand that they’re referring to Portnoy’s infamous controversial blog from 2011 showing Brady’s son naked on a beach. They just see “children’s bodies” and want to distance themselves from it. Murchison does this on purpose. He knows he’s misrepresenting them. He knows that if he’s honest about the context of the conversation no advertisers will want to leave. That’s how much of a lowlife he is.
He does it with obvious sarcastic jokes about racism too.
And it works because the people who run corporate America now are all gutless social justice poons who shit their pants the second they get an email from some random guy of no consequence in Sherborn.
Well, two can play that game. Here’s an email from Greg McGlone at the Radio Agency in Newton, canceling ads during the Kirk and Callahan show.
Whatever you do, DO NOT flood the Radio Agency’s Facebook page with negative reviews. I mean, I’d love to harass a company because of a business decision they made, but I don’t want to stoop to Bob Murchison’s level. Only he gets to mess with people’s livelihoods for sport.
Same goes for ARS Restoration Specialists.
They have a wide open Facebook page you can leave reviews, but again, we urge you to NOT give them negative reviews as a result of this. Please!!
It’s too bad more company’s don’t have sack like Kaplansky Insurance.

Wait, people still listened to WEEI?
Toucher and Rich are so much better
You get the cock teasa rates then bam! Your premiums go up for no reason at all and the cock goes up your ass!
Since Trannies and Bob Murchison is one of my favorite topics here (BTW can we get a weekly update on Maude? How about a “Maude Monday”)… I want to revisit this one last time.
First, I had no idea calling these mentally ill freaks “trannies” was so indenciary and I’ve been doing it right all along apparently. I’m so proud of myself. Anyway, see this little piece from Bob. And the last paragraph really does come full circle here, Bug Eyed Bob did not go away and he destroyed WEEI (which I really don’t care about).
https://loveandadvocacy.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/time-to-get-serious-about-bad-language/
Second, I think some of the screenshots from the folks at WEEI do note that while Bob was a problem, possible tranny Shirley Leung and her platform with support from super creep John Henry was a far more significant accelerant for this dumpster fire. So yay Bob while you won, you were just along for the ride.
Throw some METCO zoo ape porch monkeys in fucking cages and pour one out for the GOAT.
Hating blacks is not a crime.
No its not.
But it comes with consequences if you want to be a radio personality.
Its called unemployment.
I swear this entire state suffers from Low T. Bob Murchison knows how to get things done around here. In other places he’d be told to go shit in his hat but in Massachusetts the world is his oyster.
Put milquetoast Dale Arnold, AKA Ned Flanders in that spot. He won’t be interesting or improve the ratings but he will never say anything controversial! He is also the biggest suck-up to management to all the Boston teams. They never made a move he didn’t like.
I think the last time I purchased the Boston globe was on 9/12/2001 to save for my future children to see. Otherwise I give zero fucks about that Litzy Warren propaganda outlet. Fuck them and I hope they go bankrupt. They’re just as bad as CNN and MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, and the rest of them.
The truth of the matter is WEEI is last on the ratings list every month.
Sure some of their shows have their die hard followers but the reality is the majority of people are listening to something else.
You can’t keep running a company that keeps losing money so you have to make changes to make it successful and profitable.
The morning show was 5th in the ratings and that was because they got rid of Kirk. Nowhere near last. They’re bringing in a guy that he consistently beat in the ratings over the last 20 years.
I will jerk off in your name ten times today!!!!!
Clearly Bob dropped the ball in the parenting deeprtment since he raised a freak and now trying to wield his financial prowess to make up for his shortcomings as a father.
Bob, you beat Minihane and Callahan but that doesn’t change the fact that you failed as a father. You can throw all the money at that you want, but you can’t buy it
And you know it…
That’s exactly what he’s doing; trying to bully the voices that haunt his dreams into silence.
His insane son is a constant reminder of the blasting cap God playfully tossed into the Murchinson family genetic code room. Deep down, when the room is quiet and he’s forced to listen to his own shrieking conscience, he knows that WE know all we need to about this flailing freak show and the mess he’s made of his family. No amount of money can buy his way out of the hell he’s created and the child he’s failed, so he has to jealously terrorize the normal people with happy families into silence.
We need more Ely Kaplanskys, and fewer Lurch Murchisons. If I were 400 miles more east, I’d look him up and take my business there. What I don’t understand, and could someone please explain to me, why does Turd Murchishon seem to wield so much power over these advertisers?
Yes, we need moe Ely’s. Thankfully, we have the founders of Home Depot who refuse to back down to this liberal, left agenda as well. Also, Ross Perot cut two checks to Trump’s campaign right before he died. There are Patriots left, thankfully.
Oh they have to hire a Jew to cover krafts diddling 8 year olds,makes sense.
Bob go fuck yourself. Then put on some shades so we can’t see your eyes. He looks ready to stick his head into an elephant’s rectum. (Bet the pachyderm LOVES the anal tickle from what little hair is left.) He also looks kinda like a bald Stewart from The Big Bang Theory.
How is WEEI doing in the ratings? Good?
Just asking questions here.
It is hard to have a conservative voice on tv or radio. He knew politics and sports. If he was a liberal he would still be on. I will never listen to them.
Gotta say every single time I read your comments I do it In my best Ted Baxter, star newscaster voice. It always make the comments that much better.
Well, we know where the dominant genes came from with Murchison’s tranny kid.
Yep !
One look at this guy, with his cute little glass of Chablis, and it’s obvious that Murchison is a closeted Rest Area Romeo !
And for the globe a couple of years ago they pushed hard about alleged abuses at the bridgewater mental lockup and applauded gov Baker when he privatized it and kicked out the union workers if the DOC, I heard the private company that took over is associated with cunts at the top of the globe funny how that works
Took weei off my programmed stations in my truck never thought I’d do that
Fuck Greg Hill and fuck WAAF. I never listened to WEEI and never will but I’ve been listening to the Hillman morning show since back when he was still the dj at high school dances. What a spineless hypocrite. Time to activate the satellite radio in my car.
The last time I listened to a worcester radio station it was to hear Opie & Anthony…..
Hello ManTown to WEEI!!
I’m a huge fan of Mantown, is there anything hotter than a basement full of sweaty guys in tank tops playing Mettallica and getting drunk with a sign on the door that says NO GIRLS ALLOWED!
ManTown sounds like the kind of place where I just pull my fuck beef out of my pants and row my way thru a bunch of other fags until I broke off a nut.
So, a rich dude who is a terrible parent who raised a gender-baffled transformer gets to dictate the opinions of talk radio personalities? Fuck it, I’m throwing out my radio.
Hey, Blob Turdchison, call Double-A (beep beep) Em Cee Oh. We’ll fix your trannie.
Thanks Gerry for your humor and conservative point of view for the past 20 years. The run doesn’t have to be over.if I was a GM of a radio station, I would put you and Kirk on against weei in the morning and watch you crush them. Hey entercom, what’s that noise? That’s me NOT listening. Go fuck yourselves
Boston Globe, Shirley Leung, Bob Murchison, and John Henry just won this CHAMPIONSHIP bout.
Ding ding ding . . .
bow to them bitches !!
IN YOUR FACE righty fucks.
In France . . .
they would call you pussçoise – ya
pronounced poo-swa
Left has taken off the gloves and are bitch slappin you – like the war in the Nam.
Communist socialists > rules, violence, body count . . .
don’t matter
SEE Antqueefa
Support the right.
Hard
Just going to load music on my IPhone and listening to it on Bluetooth and not listening to the radio anymore. Seacrest out!
Big fucking deal, who gives a shit. If you’re upset by this, you’re obviously a sports nerd and need to get a life, fast !
Murchison’s son is transgender? In my opinion that means you’ve failed as a parent. I believe this is a mental illness caused by a traumatic experience. Was the boy ever molested? Imagine what that would do to a child. It would confuse them beyond belief. That’s what all the LBQTV or whatever it is means to me. Failed parenting, and mental illness, maybe like PTSD. Does Murchison’s son have tattoos? Another sign of failed parenting if you ask me.
Is Murchison so unhappy in his life that he gets satisfaction from others misery?
WFD, you’re way off on your acronym ( LBQTV). The preferred descriptor is LBGTQQAAIPS:
Lesbian,Bisexual, Gay, Transexual, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Allies, Intersexual, Pansexual, Straight.
Keep trying you’ll get it eventually!
You forgot non-binary.
This is great news. That means we are going to get more Alex Reimer! I can’t wait to hear more of his gloryhole exploits from Montreal!
That really was a brilliant plan on weei’s part. Force Minihane out when their ratings were through the roof, knowing that the ratings would shit the bed and they could fire Callahan for that instead of the real reason. BOB FUCKING MURCHISON!!! Goodbye eei. Thanks for 20 great years Gerry and good luck.
When D&C talked about wanting to put METCO apes in zoos I was hooked. End of an era. Hopefully they can get some guys in who hate dindus.
I have a friend who makes like $15 an hour. She sold some shit on EBay and the MADOR went after her for $1,500 she didn’t owe but yeah they waited past the date she could file amended returns but before the statute of limitations expired like she was red meat to a lion.
Florida has the same population as New York but NO INCOME taxes. I recommended she move there and like no. But this state is like ruled by big corps that pay no taxes because they’re “not for profit “ with literally billions in assets. Where’s the compassion for the working poor? It’s all for the non working welfare middle class. Talk about 1984.
Ummm… if DOR says she owed it… she owed it. They don’t just make shit up because they’re bored. Tell her to pay her fucking taxes like the rest of us.
I’ve beat the DOR twice. They make Mistakes all the time. If that weren’t the case then their staff would be qualified for real jobs.
What in fucks sake are you talking about?
I used to flip back-and-forthbetween Hill man and WEEI. Once they stuck Jerry with the revolving cast of losers I totally turned that station off. If they saddle Greg with that same strategy I’ll be gone from his show as well. The last thing I wanna do on a morning commute is listen to a whiny douche like reamer
And yeah they will do that dude. Why won’t they. They would make money with Melrose Larry in the morning.
20 yrs ago I thought I was a lefty loosey.
I heard D&C’s first show.
Then Jerry Callahan made me realize I had become a righty tighty.
Jerry – I salute you.
Ya . . .
and I’m talkin to you AK-37
This Rosi boy dropped the Sox 2 yrs ago.
Gave them less than 10 clicks each season.
Will not support a JH product.
Or EEi
buh bye
Stop listening once they got rid of Kirk
98.5 is good it’s just a matter of time before they become WEEI’ed
Their ratings will plummet more and they’ll be playing a acappella music soon
Fuck BM and fuck EEI MGT
MAGA baby
Dow 27k
Thank you Gerry, even though I stopped listening when Minihane got canned. When does the daily podcast with Minihane start? I will be one of your first subscribers. I can’t wait.
First Dino leaves then Kirk. They have the squad akin to the AOC foursome of that cockchugger Reimer, Tranni, that half sissy/half wit tub of goo Tomase and finally the boring Mutt who lived up to his name by dogging the ratings.
I went to satellite a long time ago because Toucher and Rich blow too.
Good luck HillMan you’ll need it
Shirley, I hope someone spits a yellow /green wad of spit into your fried rice tonight
And Bob, Gerry may be gone but your offspring is still fucked up.
Fuck Bob Murchison, the Globe and Weei for kowtowing to that dickwad with way too much time on your hands. After eei goes down the tubes, who’s next Bob. Agree with Crispy C who said it, libs only agree with free speech until it doesn’t match up with their agenda.
Good for Bob Murchison and his gorgeous trans child! Ze is so beautiful! You must be so proud of hir!
Thank you for shutting down that right wing conservative yacker Gerry Callahan. People with conservative view points must be silenced.
I really love that Alex Reimer. Ze is so intelligent and enlightened. If all white males were like him, I might start caring about them.
When they got rid of Minihane I gave up. They neutered Gerry and you could tell he was hoping he’d reach retirement there. I tried to stick with it but it wasn’t worth it.
Fuck ’em. Go woke, go broke (or not as profitable as you could be).
Go onto WEEI.COM. Half the articles are by Reimer.
I don’t read comic books. I watch the Avengers and whatnot when it makes to TV. You want fucked up?
Star Wars is fucked up.
Capt. Marvel is fucked up.
Terminator is fucked up.
Spiderman is fucked up.
Batman is fucked up.
Star Trek – Picard is fucked up and no shows have been shot yet….
Dr. Who let’s change the lead to a woman. Last year they went into the past and road the Rosa Parks bus
with Rosa in it. Inferred that the USA of then is the USA of now.
Search out some commentary on youtube about these subjects. It makes us, here look tame.
Batwoman is coming to the CW this fall. Rich Dyke with a girlfriend.
Spiderman. The actor currently playing him , hopes in the future that Spiderman will be gay.
Terminator. The suits for the next movie have come out and said that they hope conservatives heads explode
over their plans. The Terminator in that upcoming movie looks like she was on the US Womens Soccer team.
The rest are the same. The people running these shows and the actors come out and say that they don’t care if their version turns conservative off and that conservatives can go fuck themselves if they don’t like it. That’s fair, it’s their right. The same people then bitch that no one is clamoring for their product. The same people get in public pissing contests with the public that knocks their product.
Disney World. There’s a Star War theme section. They can’t give the tickets away because they ruined the movies with SJW.
Find bowlestrek, It’sAGundam, ComicArtistPro Secrets, Vito, Nerdrotic on youtube. These people have a better social commentary game than we do.
ComicArtistPro Secrets has a youtube video
THE WALL by Scott Snyder and Charles Soule! HORROR: What if our borders were A LITTLE TOO SECURE?
The 2 names mentioned wrote Batman comics for DC.
The comic book will be, that the wall is built and no one from the outside the US has been entered the US in 30 years. Then the doors in the wall open and the rest of the world will see the horrors inside. They mean it. They think that if the wall is built on the border, no one will be able to enter and leave. These are grownups. Professional writers and artists.
Too bad for Gerry. I never heard the guy getting into a pissing contest with anyone to the point of being disrespectful.
Loved comic books when I was eight or nine. They were works of art. Decades later they make comic book fucking movies? Talk about lobotomies.
For a truly Identity Political cluster, watch the Walking Dead (i can’t stomach it). While they don’t have a Trans-fat hero yet, they will, and perhaps a Black Superman as well, co-opting our culture…
Entercom happens
I’m sorry did you say Bob Murchison has a transgender son?
Nope “transvestite daughter” is the correct term.
Bob Murchison is such a sack of shit and so are all mentally ill tranny freaks (redundant) like his daughter.
It’s cool we can comment on people’s kids now?
Is that how this works?
Just checking.
I just want to be clear… Bob’s daughter is a grown woman (dressed as a man). Although it isn’t her fault that she is mentally ill and was born with bad genes from terrible parents even IF she was born (as a woman) into wealth and has made a choice to act like a tranny zipperhead.
About time
The days of old white racist men are ending.
Gerry can go sit on that METCO bus bench with Drunk John Dennis.
Are Mike and LB not making the move? So the squeaky wheel got the grease, i’m sure he’s going to give it to his tranny kid
So the only way I have a say in this new world of ours is to have a Faceplant account. Fuck that I plan on waiting til I’m over 50 and then I’ll just declare jihad and make like the people we allow to come to our shitty pot of a country.
I love the HillMan and hope they don’t abuse him like they did to the morning WEEI guys. Politics is out of control and freedom of speech only seems to be ok when it fits the liberal agenda.
Why in the name of Moses would I pay for advertising when you just gave it to me for free? You have to be a world class shmendrik if you can’t figure out how to monetize a web site.
The guy who replied from the insurance company is going to get my business. Balls go a long way in this world of unicorns and rainbows. The leader of the barrage of bullshit Bob is probably disappointed in his parenting skills and trying to make it up to whatever his kid identifies as today. Rich people and their temper tantrums are comic gold
They actually believe they matter and can change how normal working people think
Sure. Boycott the Red Sox. Let me know how that goes.
I haven’t watched them since they didn’t go as a team to the White House. Just like I don’t give a fuck what you say or think
That’s the beauty of freedom and you can go fuck your fist
Im sure the Sox are suffering greatly without you
May not hurt them now, but wait another 15 years for the Baby Boomers to start to rapidly decline in number, then come back here in comment. I love baseball, and if it wasn’t for John the Facist running the team, I would actively encourage my kids to watch them. Unfortunately the Red Sox are no longer part of my life which means they aren’t in my kids life either. Baseball is already struggling to attract young fans as it is, and John the Fascit is doing everything he can to ailoenate the people in this area who already have kids. Sure he’s got the two income duche canoes living in Boston, Brookline and Cambridge to buy tickets, but those type of folks don’t have kids to pass on their passion to.
Yeah they make all their money of rich people dude. A day at the ballpark is easily $1,500 for two people. Used to be like $20 in the 60’s.
The Common man has turned down free redsox tickets twice this year. If I went, I’d spend money in the park. I won’t spend a dime on the Boston Red Sox as long as John The Fascist owns the team.
So they replaced him with Greg Hill??? Greg Hill is a conservative talk show host. The Hill-Man Morning show is great, but it also is not PC. Why would you fire one host for his conservative views and then hire another conservative. I never listen to WEEI anyways, I’m just upset that the Hill-Man Morning Show is no more.
I like Hillman, but he’s not exactly minehane when it comes to towing the line. I don’t see him touching anything controversial. Hopefully I’m wrong
Considering this is a in company move, he probably turns left off the elevator instead of right from now on, if he doesn’t toe the line, it’s not like they’ll let him go back to turning right off the elevator.
Luckily, I believe he has outside ventures if it came to that.
“Here’s a small sampling of stuff that producer Joey Zarbano personally sent me, then asked me not to tell anyone because it could get him in trouble.”
I cannot seem to find WHY you outed him as a source in this blog… perhaps I am missing the reason. Not being a dick, I am genuinely curious.
Bob Murchison looks like he has a big dick stuck up his ass Oh BTW Bob go fuck yourself
