Beasley Media Group Sports/Talk WBZ-FM (98.5 The Sports Hub) will celebrate its 15-year anniversary on the air in Boston next week. The station hit the airwaves on August 13, 2009 with replays of the New England Patriots 2001, 2003 and 2004 Super Bowl winning radio broadcasts, followed by the inaugural Felger & Mazz show. In addition, Sports Hub will celebrate this landmark anniversary throughout the entire week with introspections both on-air, on its YouTube channel as well as on all Social Media platforms.

Launched on an FM signal (a rarity at the time for a Sports Talk radio station), The Sports Hub has received numerous industry accolades throughout its 15-year history, including the National Association of Broadcasters' Marconi Award for "Sports Station of the Year" in 2011, 2014, 2019 and 2023.

As the official flagship radio station for the New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins and New England Revolution, the Sports Hub has been a part of an unprecedented run of championships in Boston, many of which aired live on the station.

"For me, being with the station since day one, I have always felt proud and privileged to be a part of the Sports Hub team these past 15 years," said station Program Director Rick Radzik. "We look forward to celebrating the milestone all next week on air and online with many stories and recollections from our on-air talent."

"I am so proud of this amazing team, most of who have been here from the beginning, and have built and grown this amazing brand that is intrinsically intertwined with Boston sports history for the past 15 years," added Beasley Media Group Regional Vice President and Boston Market Manager Mary Menna.
