Mike Salk |
Salk helped grow the "Brock and Salk Show"
exponentially the last four years. As of this past September, the show ranked
No. 1 with the station's core demo of men 25-54. Salk also was a frequent
contributor to 710 ESPN's website and will do the same, in a variety of ways,
for WEEI.com. He also has been a part of the ESPN Radio network since 2007,
hosting "SportsCenter Saturday" and serving as a regular fill-in host
over the past few years.
Salk is no stranger to the Boston
sports talk radio scene, having worked at 890 ESPN Radio Boston from 2005 until 2009. He primarily
served as co-host of the station's midday show with Bob Halloran, and he also
was the station's Red Sox beat reporter, covering every game of the team's run
to the 2007 World Series.
"For a kid who grew up rooting for Boston 's sports teams, I can't wait to get
behind that microphone and connect with the most avid sports fans in the
country," Salk said. "From the best play-by-play in radio to their
breakthrough work with the Jimmy Fund, WEEI is still the gold standard in
sports talk radio.
Said Jason Wolfe, VP of Programming for Entercom Boston:
"Mike Salk has a proven record of success, and I couldn't be more excited
to bring him back home to Boston .
He's a very skilled broadcaster, a fun personality and a passionate sports fan.
I'm really looking forward to the new dynamic that he and Michael Holley will
provide on a daily basis."
