“For more than five years, Mike and Tony have entertained Boston listeners and sports fans with their unique takes and their self-deprecating humor,” said Mark Hannon, SVP/Market Manager, CBS RADIO Boston. “We’re thrilled that they’ll continue to be an integral part of the Sports Hub while working in the greatest sports town in America for many years to come.”

“I’m thrilled to be continuing at 98.5 the Sports Hub,” Felger said. “I can’t believe it’s already been over five years. Hosting the show with Mazz just keeps getting better, a total blast. The fans here are the best in the world. They know what they’re talking about and are passionate about it. I’m grateful for their support and consider myself lucky to be working with the people I do and for the people I do.”

“I’m thrilled to be on the Sports Hub for years to come, and I have to thank our fans for making the ‘Felger & Mazz Show’ and the Sports Hub a winner,” Massarotti added. “There’s no doubt that this is the best sports town in the country, and every day I look forward to talking about what’s going on in sports and mixing it up on the air.”
