When former WEEI 93.7 FM morning show co-host Kirk Minihane officially and contentiously parted ways with Entercom Communications last month, he touted himself as the greatest free-agent in sports media history.
But there was one most logical landing spot all along: Barstool Sports. And that’s where he’s going, according to boston.com.
Barstool founder Dave Portnoy tweeted Thursday night that Minihane was joining the company, and Minihane later confirmed with a tweet of his own, adding that he would elaborate Friday.
Welcome to Barstool, @kirkmin. Listen to his first call into radio as a Barstool employee - https://t.co/VBq0Eanj42— Barstool Radio (@BarstoolRadio) May 31, 2019
Barstool Sports has a series of popular podcasts as well as a Sirius channel. Minihane is expected to have a prominent presence at both.
Minihane, who brought high ratings and frequent controversy to WEEI’s morning show before leaving in November, announced May 22 he no longer worked for Entercom.
Minihane had been in limbo since departing the “Kirk and Callahan’’ program, where he was a co-host since 2013.
