WEEI is making changes to strengthen its elite weekday lineup. The key members involved in the moves are Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria from the midday show OMF, and Dale Arnold and Rich Keefe from WEEI’s afternoon program Dale and Keefe.
Starting August 13th, the two shows will switch dayparts. The move sends Ordway and Arnold back to timeslots they both previously worked and enjoyed prior success in. Ordway starred for WEEI in afternoons from 1995 to 2013. Arnold worked in middays with Michael Holley from 2005 to 2011.
The new lineup for WEEI will look like this:
5:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.: “Kirk & Callahan” hosted by Kirk Minihane and Gerry Callahan
10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.: “Dale & Keefe” with Dale Arnold and Rich Keefe
2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria” hosted by Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria
6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.: “Mut at Night” with Mike Mutnansky
10:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m.: “WEEI Late Night”
“We are proud to deliver the power of local connection to our listeners and advertisers through an elite roster of talent that provides premier sports audio content in Boston,” said Mark Hannon, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Boston. “This move allows us to return Glenn and Dale to the show times that have been synonymous with their legendary careers in Boston, while also providing Rich, Christian and Lou with new, exciting challenges moving forward.”
