Minihane Leaving WEEI For Radio.com
• Kirk Minihane, who spent the past five years as the co-host of the Kirk and Callahan morning show on Entercom Sports-Talk WEEI/Boston will launch a new radio show, podcast and column on Entercom’s Radio.com digital platform. According to Entercom, this new platform will expand Minihane’s reach to a national audience and allow him to explore wide-ranging topics in addition to sports. His podcast and column are expected to launch in January 2019 and his new, daily, weekday radio show, which will include a co-host to be named at a later date, is expected to launch in early 2019.
“As an industry leader in compelling, proprietary content, Entercom is making sure Radio.com is populated with the very best programming available. Kirk Minihane fits this model perfectly,” said Pat Paxton, President of Programming, Entercom. “His ability to entertain and engage is second to none, and there is no question Kirk will become a highly successful national audio personality. He already conquered Boston. Now on to the rest of the world!”
Going forward, the WEEI morning show will focus predominantly on sports and be led by hosts Gerry Callahan and Mike “Mut” Mutnansky, along with a rotating cast of sports personalities.
Minihane remarked, “I’m extremely excited to return to the air and reach a national audience, with greater autonomy to focus on a variety of topics, and even more digital platforms to connect with my fans. It’s been awesome to be part of WEEI and I know Gerry and Mut will continue to put on a great show. I want to thank the listeners for their patience and loyalty over the past several weeks, and I can’t wait to get started on Radio.com.”
