Mike Felger, co-host of the Felger and Mazz show on Beasley's WBZ-FM 98.5 The Sports Hub/Boston, has signed a multi-year contract extension. The show, co-hosted by Tony Massarotti has realized 22 consecutive quarters of top ratings with M25-54, a run dating back to the summer of 2012. The duo has been entertaining Boston fans weekdays from 2-6pm on the station since 2009.

"We are thrilled to have Mike continue entertaining Boston's loyal and dedicated sports fans," said company Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Brian Beasley.

"I couldn't be happier to continue what we started here almost nine years ago and keep it going with Beasley Media Group,'' said Felger "I'm privileged to be surrounded by some of the best people in the business, starting with Tony and including Jim Murray and producers Jimmy Stewart and Billy Lanni. I'd also like to thank Program Director Mike Thomas, Assistant PD Rick Radzik, Vice President/Market Manager Mary Menna and the Beasley family for their support. We're all looking forward to this new chapter under their leadership.''

"Mike Felger is a Boston institution," said Beasley Media Group Boston Vice President and Market Manager Mary Menna. "He is a lightning rod who will be lighting up Boston radio for years to come!"

Felger, a graduate of Boston University, began his career in the Boston sports media in 1989 as an intern at the Boston Herald, where he ended up working for 19 years, ultimately covering the Bruins and Patriots and serving as the paper's lead football columnist. From there Felger branched out to broadcast media, hosting the afternoon drive program on ESPN Radio Boston and, from 2007 to present, serving as an anchor at NBC Sports Boston. He joined the Sports Hub at its launch in 2009. 2018 will mark Felger's 30th year covering sports in Boston in some form.
