Audacy Sports 93.7 WEEI-FM Lawrence/Boston has revamped its afternoon show as former New England Patriot Ted Johnson and Nick ‘Fitzy’ Stevens will join Andy Hart starting Tuesday, January 21.
Johnson will also co-host “WEEI Football Sunday” with Christian Arcand, Meghan Ottolini, Chris Scheim, Tom E. Curran, Stevens, Hart and Jermaine Wiggins during the NFL season. With the addition of Johnson and Stevens to afternoons, Christian Arcand will move to nights from 6-10pm.
Hart joined the WEEI afternoon show alongside Arcand last August. A longtime columnist covering the New England Patriots, Hart has been with WEEI since 2019 as a writer and making regular appearances across the station’s programming. He previously has been assistant editor for Patriots Football Weekly, writer for Patriots.com, and contributor to NBC Sports Boston. Hart also co-hosts Audacy’s 6 Rings and Football Things podcasts.
Johnson had been a contributor and fill-in host at Beasley’s “98.5 The Sports Hub” WBZ-FM since 2018. He retired from the NFL in 2005 and previously hosted pre and postgame shows for WBZ-TV as well as weekend shows on CBS Sports Radio.
Johnson said, “I had the good fortune of playing on some incredible teams in my 10-year career, and now, 30 years later, I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be a part of another great team at WEEI. I’ll never take for granted the relationships I’ve formed and the awesome experiences I’ve shared with the fans here, and I look forward to strengthening those connections through the WEEI airwaves. I appreciate the unique opportunity Mike Thomas, Mark Hannon, Jeff Sottolano and Ken Laird have given me. I look forward to talking to y’all soon!”
Stevens joined WEEI in the summer of 2019 and has hosted shows across every daypart at the station, including “The 6 Rings Postgame Show” with Hart after every Patriots game.
Audacy Boston SVP/Market Manager Mike Thomas commented, ““Ted not only hoisted the Vince Lombardi trophy 3 times as a Patriot, but he also played alongside new Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel. After his playing days, Ted honed his broadcasting skills in Houston and back here in Boston. He has entertaining stories and valuable information that all Boston sports fans won’t want to miss. Fitzy has been an asset to the station and we’re excited to expand his role to ‘WEEI Afternoons’ with his knowledge as a die-hard Boston sports fan.”
