Longtime sports talk radio host and podcaster Pete Sheppard has announced he’s placed his program on hiatus as he takes a new job outside of the broadcast industry.
Sheppard, perhaps most well known for when he worked in afternoon drive for WEEI from 1999 to 2010, has yet to publicly share what the new opportunity outside of the industry is.
However, he made the move known at the end of his program late last week.
In a post on social media, Pete Sheppard shared that he was stepping away, at least momentarily, from his program with the Coastal Sports Digital Network after accepting a new position.
“In case you missed the show yesterday, here is a brief recap. I have decided to take a position outside the broadcast world,” Sheppard said. “It’s an incredible opportunity with a great company. My show will be on hiatus until early 2026. I will re-evaluate at that time.”
Sheppard had been hosting the podcast after departing ESPN Southwest Florida in October 2023. He spent more than six years working at the Beasley Media Group station. He had been paired with Craig Shemon in afternoon drive at the time of his exit.
