Sports station WEEI 93.7 came in fifth with a 5.4 share.

In morning drive (6-10), The Sports Hub’s “Toucher & Rich” finished in the top spot with a 21.4 share during a period in which co-host Fred Toucher missed time while dealing with personal matters. WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” finished second (8.6), a notable jump from its share in the winter book (5.7, fifth).

In the 7 p.m.-midnight window, The Sports Hub, which named Joe Murray its full-time nighttime host on June 12, finished first (17.4), in part due to having Celtics and Bruins playoff broadcasts. WEEI’s programming, which includes “The Rich Keefe Show” and Red Sox broadcasts, took second at 7.2.
