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.
Mike Salk was heavily pursued? Just whiny and has no game, so what am I missing?
WEEI is allowing Glenn to finish the week and this is how he started show today.
