Boston sports radio juggernaut ‘Toucher and Rich’ breaks up after months of drama

Описание: One of the highest-rated sports talk shows in the country is no more.

Fred Toucher announced on Boston’s 98.5 the Sports Hub Friday morning that his longtime co-host Rich Shertenlieb has left the program.

“Toucher and Rich” had been together for 17 years, and on 98.5 since the station launched in 2009.

The station’s parent company Beasley Media Group said in a statement to the Boston Globe: “We value Rich’s contributions to the show over the years. Beasley offered to renew his contract for multiple years on terms better than his existing contract. He never accepted. We wish him the best.”

“Toucher and Rich” dominated in the ratings for quite some time.

The program got a 15.3 share in the men’s 25-54 demographic — which ads in sports radio are sold against — in the summer book, compared to a 11.3 for its main competitor, WEEI’s “Greg Hill Show.”

That difference was the closest the two stations had been in the morning drive in years.
