WEEI announces programming shuffle

If Boston sports radio sounds a bit different to you in 2023, you’re not hearing things.

WEEI recently announced that the Audacy-owned station will be shuffling and rotating its radio hosts in 2023. Starting in January, current afternoon host Christian Fauria will flip to middays with Andy Gresh to anchor a 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. show.

Rich Keefe will move to nights to host a 6 pm to 10 p.m. show.

Lou Merloni will leave his role as an everyday show host to join WEEI’s coverage of Red Sox games. The former Red Sox infielder and Framingham native is scheduled to call at least 60 regular season games in 2023.

“These changes will further strengthen the news, information and entertainment that Boston sports fans count on every day,” Mike Thomas, the senior vice president and market manager at Audacy Boston, said on Friday. “Lou grew up here, played for the Sox and has been our ‘baseball guy’ for more than a dozen years. His move to the booth will make our gameday coverage even better for Red Sox fans across New England.”

Meghan Ottolini and Christian Arcand will remain as co-hosts of WEEI’s afternoon show
