If Felger and Mazz govt producer James “Jimmy” Stewart ran 98.5 The Sports Hub, he’d transfer the station’s evening host to the middays.
As the third chair on Zolak and Bertrand stays open after Rob “Hardy” Poole moved to the mornings, a number of names have been floated to fill that key noon function.
Stewart on Thursday was requested about who ought to get the third chair.
“My opinion is, I would move Joe Murray from the nights to the third chair in the midday, if Joe wants it,” Stewart mentioned on the “Off-Air Show” with Mike Felger.
“If not, I would go with Matt McCarthy,” Stewart added. “I like Matt. I don’t know how his production skills are, but I like Matt as far as somebody who will get in there. He can run the show if Marc (Bertrand) is off. He’ll challenge (Scott) Zolak. Matt really can do every sport well. That’s if we’re talking about internal candidates.”
Phil Perry, Patriots Insider for NBC Sports Boston, has additionally been talked about as a attainable match for the noon third chair. Perry stuffed in for the present’s 4 hours earlier this week.
“Phil Perry seems to be getting a lot of run,” Felger mentioned. “I feel there’s momentum behind Phil Perry.”
But if Perry joined the previous Pats QB on the noon present, that could possibly be a present “overloaded” with Patriots content material, Stewart mentioned.
“But he (Perry) can write for the website,” Stewart mentioned. “Because that’s going to be a part of it. Because we’re a digital media company, Felger. I know you don’t have to deal with that, yet.”
“(McCarthy) can do stuff for the website, too,” Stewart later added.
Last week, Felger and Mazz host Tony Massarotti talked about Perry, Cerrone Battle, and Michael Holley nearly as good matches for the noon present.
“When Mike Holley was in here for the first time working with Beetle and Zolak, somebody in the building said, ‘Don’t let Michael Holley leave without a contract!’ ” Stewart mentioned.
Some different names which have been floated for the noon present’s third chair are Ryan Johnston, Kendra Middleton, and Tim McKone.
A 98.5 spokesperson mentioned final week, “The on-air full-time position at the Sports Hub remains posted and we are actively searching for the right fit for the mid-day show.”
