New Englanders with NESN... I will be on that channel’s After Hours program tonight at 11 pm with Sophia Jurkstowicz talking about the Boston Bruins draft & Matty Beniers, who went second overall to the Seattle Kraken. Hope you can tune in- my first television appearance since moving back to Boston area.

Too bad, I generally like his input

 

[Babajingo]

So NESN is showing the WooSox right now. Hate the nickname but the park looks nice. Anyway, how often do they show them? if them, why not the PBruins? I know, stupid question.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Good riddance.

Same! She sucked.

cant wait!

Holly was the best radio guy in town. Still is and he doesn’t do radio anymore.

Amen.

Dale and Holley (specifically the 1st iteration in the 10-2 slot) was a perfect show.

Also thoroughly enjoyed back then when Dale was out and Michael Smith would fill in with Holley

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

A move that people are either going to love or hate. I’ll definitely be in the former if he brings passion and says what’s on his mind. Should have Brooksie on for Rangers games lmao

Channel 5 first and only sports story is Brady's 44th birthday. What a bunch of ball washers. I know its wrong, but I can't wait for him to retire and the Pats to tank for a few years. So sick of it.
Oh give me the days of Sullivan Stadium, Chuck Fairbanks and blacked out games.

 

[CamFan81]

God Felger and Mazz is possibly the worst radio Ive listened too. Haven't listened to them in years ever since i hit a wall with not being able to ignore the shtick because the takes were all about supporting the shtick.

Awful awful awful

Agreed. Plus, anyone or anything that helps to keep Barry Melrose off of my TV screen can only be a good thing......

Parent company Audacy has gone outside the Boston market to find a new leader at sports radio station WEEI, naming Jeff Rickard as brand manager.

Rickard, who will begin Aug. 11, is a longtime sports radio host who most recently had been program director and a morning host on sports station WFNI in Indianapolis. In his new role, he will oversee content operations at WEEI and its radio network.

They're on NESN+ a lot, I suppose since one of the Sox owners now owns this franchise. They hardly ever broadcast them when they were in Pawtucket.

I loved, loved the Dale & Holley show and I miss it very much.

The Pawsox had a deal with Cox Cable that only allowed NESN a few games a year.

NESN simply takes in the in-house scoreboard feed from the Woosox. It is a great training ground for the next generation of TV production people.

I am currently in negotiations to do Bruins coverage for THW.

If all goes well, I hope to provide a different kind of coverage.

What is THW?

And how do I access it?

RIP Jay Greenberg, so much more than a great Post columnist

 

[Babajingo]

Feel bad for this rookie QB. Patriot ball washer media is already making him out to be the second coming.
