Howie Carr

Longtime talk host and Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr is taking his no-holds-barred brand of radio to WMEX 1510 AM beginning Monday.

Carr is also retaining all of his 15 affiliates across New England as he jumps up the dial. The show — airing weekdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. — also will be available via streaming at howiecarrshow.com, on apps from affiliates and on tunein.com.

Carr’s longtime producer, Nancy “Sandy” Shack, is sticking with her boss, and his first guest on Monday will be another of his old producers, Doug “VB” Goudie, the popular TV commentator who was just let go by Fox 25 TV.

WMEX, which first broadcast in Boston in 1934, is owned by Kevin Wallis. Wallis recently filed for the heritage WMEX, dropping ths more recent WUFC (50kw) call sign. The syndication is being handled by Kurt Carberry, who owns one of Howie’s longstanding affiliates, WCRN 830 AM in Worcester.

Carr, who is also a best-selling author, quit WRKO in 2007, but a state judge compelled him to continue working for the station until yesterday. “Finally, I’m free,” Carr said. “I can’t believe I got out of prison before Benjamin LaGuer.”
