Sports WEEI 93.7 FM yesterday confirmed John Dennis will not be 
returning to the “Dennis & Callahan” morning show.

The station said in a statement that Dennis, who has been on the air with partner Gerry Callahan for 19 years, is leaving for “health reasons” and “on advice of his doctors that he reduce his workload.”

The release went on to say that Dennis will continue with the station “in a moderated capacity,” working with advertisers (read that to mean commercial endorsements), as an ambassador to sponsors and community organizations, and will “occasionally host WEEI programs.”

Dennis will also continue to work on the station’s annual Jimmy Fund Telethon and will co-host it Aug. 29 and 30 with Callahan and Kirk Minihane.

“I’m so looking forward to finally sleeping in,” Dennis told the Boston Herald, declining further comment.

Insiders told The Herald Dennis has had it with Minihane and that Dennis told management the toxic relationship was hazardous to his health!

According to The Boston Globe,  Dennis, whose contract is up in September 2017, threatened to quit two weeks ago after a Twitter war of words regarding Minihane. WEEI management wanted him to stay on because of his appeal to certain advertisers and sponsors.
