Sports-radio fixture Glenn Ordway will retire from full-time post at end of summer - The Boston Globe
Glenn Ordway, who in a near-50-year broadcasting career established himself as one of the most influential voices in the history of Boston sports radio, announced Tuesday that he will be retiring from his full-time role at WEEI at the end of the summer.
“I’m going to chill out a bit and enjoy life,” said Ordway, 70, at the top of Tuesday’s show.
Ordway, who cohosts the afternoon-drive “OMF” program with Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria, said he will split his time between Boston and Scottsdale, Ariz., after leaving the daily role, but plans to still contribute to the station beyond August.
He will stay on as host of “The Real Postgame Show” after Patriots games, and will develop a podcast.
“We’re talking about stuff right now,” said Ordway, who has time remaining on his contract beyond this year, “but I do want to do ‘The Real Postgame Show.’ I’ve done it for a zillion years with those two guys, Fred [Smerlas] and [Steve] DeOssie.
