Veteram radio personality Kirk Minihane will launch a new radio show, podcast and column on Radio.com, Entercom's digital platform. For the past five years, Minihane has been co-host of the "Kirk and Callahan" morning show on Sports WEEI/Boston. The move expands Kirk's reach to a national audience, while exploring wide-ranging topics in addition to sports. The podcast and column are expected to launch in January, 2019 and his new daily show, which will include a co-host to be named at a later date, is expected to launch in early 2019.

"As an industry leader in compelling, proprietary content, Entercom is making sure Radio.com is populated with the very best programming available. Kirk Minihane fits this model perfectly," said Entercom President of Programming Pat Paxton. "His ability to entertain and engage is second to none, and there is no question Kirk will become a highly successful national audio personality. He already conquered Boston. Now on to the rest of the world."

"I'm extremely excited to return to the air and reach a national audience, with greater autonomy to focus on a variety of topics, and even more digital platforms to connect with my fans," said Kirk Minihane. "It's been awesome to be part of WEEI and I know Gerry and Mut will continue to put on a great show. I want to thank the listeners for their patience and loyalty over the past several weeks, and I can't wait to get started on Radio.com."

Meanwhile, the WEEI morning show is being re-envisioned as a more sports-centric show consistent with the station's brand.
