WEEI’s Dennis and Callahan get show on NESN

Boston’s top-rated morning-drive sports radio show is heading to the small screen as WEEI talk duo John Dennis and Gerry Callahan have landed their own show on New England Sports Network.
The Boston Herald is reporting the TV cameras begin rolling Nov. 16 when the “Dennis & Callahan” show debuts live on NESN from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. weekdays.

“This programming partnership brings together the two most popular sports media companies in New England in a way that we think complements the strengths of each organization,” said NESN president and CEO Sean McGrail in a statement today.

“We have worked closely with WEEI for several years to produce the annual Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon,” McGrail added.

While the show will be on NESN, it will also be available to viewers nationwide who purchase regional sports packages from their cable provider.

NESN said it plans to install four remotely controlled cameras in WEEI’s Brighton studio. The sports network also plans to replay the show on NESN National and a one-hour “Best of Dennis and Callahan” will air late night.

“When they see them on TV, people may be shocked to learn how handsome John and Gerry are,” quipped Julie Kahn, vice president Entercom New England, owner of WEEI-AM (850)
