Boston Radio: Mike Salk OUT At WEEI

Mike Salk

In March 2013, Mike Salk replaced fired Boston radio legend Glenn Ordway on WEEI's afternoon drive program.

A year later, Salk is moving on, according to boston.com.

The Sudbury native announced at the end of Wednesday's "Salk and Holley" program he is resigning from the station.

He said on his Twitter account (changed to @TheMikeSalk yesterday afternoon) that he would have more details on his future Thursday.

Thank you to so many of you who have reached out in the last hour. Yes, I decided to leave WEEI today for a new and unique opportunity.

An industry source said he believed Salk was returning to Seattle, where he co-hosted the “Brock and Salk Show” along with former NFL quarterback Brock Huard for three years on ESPN 710 before leaving for WEEI. Salk is expected to have a more prominent role than he had when he left.

A spokesman at WEEI's parent company Entercom Communications said the station will use a rotating cast of hosts alongside Holley in the immediate future while searching for Salk's permanent replacement.

Salk's short-lived run at WEEI was in part due to challenging circumstances and in part his own fault.

He was hired and emboldened by then-Entercom Boston vice president/market manager Jeff Brown. But when Brown departed unexpectedly in September, replaced by Phil Zachary, Salk lost his chief advocate at the station.
