Rich Shertenlieb is getting set for this return to the airwaves. Via his X account, Shertenlieb announced his new show on Boston Classic Rock station 100.7 WZLX will debut on Monday May 20.
Shertenlieb has been off the air since not accepting a new contract offered by Beasley Media Group in November 2023. Just over six months later, the general length of a non-compete clause in media, Shertenlieb will make his long awaited return.
Shertenlieb left what was considered by many one of the top sports radio shows in the country. He and Fred Toucher teamed up for 17 years together including 14 years on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Shertenlieb announced his move to the iHeartMedia station last week which ended months of speculation about where he would next be heard. A lot of noise was made in March when two different people, the Boston Globe’s Chad Finn and Barstool’s Kirk Minihane had reported Shertenlieb was headed to Sports Hub rival WEEI. Minihane went as far as saying it was “going to be Andy Gresh and Rich Shertenlieb in afternoons” on WEEI but turns out neither had the right information.
“Boy oh boy are there a lot of things we need to talk about the least of which including how non-competes are the worst and should be totally illegal but also about how much I’ve missed you and how I’ve worked every day over the last several months to put together this show and great group of co-hosts well not every day because there were some days when I went to the movies by myself because no one in my family wanted to see ‘Dune 2’ which was a quality film, but I prefer the David Lynch version with Sting and the guy with pus boils all over his face hey how about them Celtics,” Shertenlieb wrote in a video posted on X.
