Big news in Boston: Ordway out at WEEI

Chad Finn of the Boston Globe breaks the big story about Glenn Ordway, a sports talk radio fixture.

Finn writes:

A seismic shakeup at sports radio station WEEI is apparently imminent, with longtime host Glenn Ordway being replaced on its afternoon drive program by Mike Salk, a Boston native who has co-hosted a program on 710 ESPN in Seattle since 2009.

Ordway confirmed that he was leaving the show in the opening segment of Wednesday’s program.

Multiple industry sources have said that Salk, a Buckingham Browne and Nichols graduate with previous Boston radio experience at 1510 and the now-defunct ESPN 890, has been heavily pursued by WEEI to replace Ordway, a staple on the Boston sports radio scene since the ’70s, and that he will accept the job.

Salk did not respond to a request for comment. It is uncertain when the change will take place.
