Greg Hill Moves From WAAF To WEEI
• There has been a seismic shift in the Boston morning radio landscape, as Entercom announced that Greg Hill, host of the Hill-Man Morning Show on Rocker WAAF for nearly three decades, will be moving over to Sports-Talk sister WEEI-FM to anchor the new Greg Hill Morning Show, starting July 29. He will be joined by his current co-host Danielle Murr and a rotating cast of additional contributors.
“Greg is a Boston market veteran with an incredible pedigree and track record of success,” said Mark Hannon, Regional President and Market Manager, Entercom Boston. “We are excited to welcome him to mornings at WEEI and to usher the station into the future.”
Hill remarked, “I’m thrilled to embark on the next chapter in my career in Boston. WEEI is a legendary Boston station and one of the country’s first Sports stations. I’m excited to anchor mornings moving forward. I also want to thank WAAF and all of the listeners and co-workers who have made the last 28 years so amazing. The good news is I will still be talking to them every weekday, just down the dial at 93.7 FM.”
Concurrent with Hill’s transition, current WEEI morning host Gerry Callahan will exit after more than two decades. In a statement, Entercom said, “Callahan has been a dominant force and a big part of WEEI over the years. While it is now time for a new chapter, we thank him for his many contributions and the indelible mark he has made at WEEI, including his tireless work on behalf of Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
And there’s more movement: Mike “Mut” Mutnansky, current co-host of WEEI’s Mut & Callahan morning show will transition back to his former evening shift. Over on WAAF, longtime Hill-Man Morning Show sports anchor Lyndon Byers will remain with the station in a new capacity, and morning show producer Mike Hsu will move to afternoon drive. The WAAF morning show will shift to a music focus during the interplanetary search for Hill’s successor.
