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.

no one likes a know-it-all, but when you're a know-it-all and you're wrong so often, that's untenable.

ReplyDeletegood luck mike, wish you well . now hopefully weei will realize the magic that they had with Dale and Holley, Dale and Holley bring the most Intellectual conversations on any sports radio in the area. I am so sick of slap stick radio and one uppers, bring back intelligent sports radio by bringing back Dale Arnold.
ReplyDeleteDale sucks. That's why he is the backup to the backup picking up scraps left behind by real radio guys. Why not get rid of Holley? What a host killer!!
ReplyDeleteHolley takes another one down the tubes!! when will weei realize that he is part of the problem!
ReplyDeleteDale and Holley, How bad can it get! Get Dennis and Callahan to the afternoon show!
