| dbo:abstract | Toucher and Rich is a Marconi Award-winning morning radio show from 6 to 10 AM on The Sports Hub 98.5 WBZ-FM, in Boston, Massachusetts. The show first aired on June 5, 2006. On August 13, 2009, following the demise of WBCN, the show moved to sports talk station WBZ-FM 98.5 The Sports Hub. Toucher & Rich celebrated their 10th anniversary on August 16, 2016, selling out the Wilbur Theatre for a special 10th Anniversary show, with numerous guests as well as the finals of 98 Mile year 4. On September 24, 2016, Toucher & Rich received the Marconi Award, the highest award in radio for Major Market Personality of the Year. From August 17, 2015, until July 13, 2018, the show was simulcast on NBC Sports Boston. The show is now streamed live on Twitch. From June 5, 2006, until mid-2007 the show's opening theme was "Fuck All Y'all" by Saliva. Since 2007, the opening theme is "Honey Bucket" by Melvins. Toucher and Rich entered regional syndication on October 25, 2021. The program's inaugural affiliates consisted of four Townsquare Media stations: the trimulcast of WCYY in Portland, Maine, WPKQ in North Conway, New Hampshire, and WJZN in Augusta, Maine; and WEZQ in Bangor, Maine. In October 2022, longtime producer Mike Lockhart was unceremoniously fired as part of company-wide downsizing. This was despite The Sports Hub having the fifth highest billing of all radio stations in the country. On October 17, Shertenlieb announced on air that Lockhart would re-join the show, but his salary would be paid in full by Shertenlieb. Speaking of the decision, Shertenlieb said, “In return for the company allowing me to pay my own money to bring Mike back, I was made to sign a contract that the show would write four articles a day for the station’s website. But that was much better than some of the other things that they were asking for. This is the last I’ll speak of the last week, because quite frankly, I’m fried. But the bottom line is, we love Mike Lockhart, he’s a part of our team, and I always want him to be part of our team.” (en) |
