Station Welcomes Ted Johnson and Expands Role for Nick “Fitzy” Stevens to Debut New Afternoon Show

BOSTON, MA – January 14, 2025 – Audacy has announced a series of programming updates for WEEI (WEEI-FM/AM) in Boston. 

The station debuts a new afternoon show, welcoming three-time NFL champion Ted Johnson as afternoon show co-host alongside Andy Hart and Nick “Fitzy” Stevens, who is expanding his role. The trio will be heard weekdays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET beginning January 21. Johnson will also co-host “WEEI Football Sunday’” with Christian Arcand, Meghan Ottolini, Chris Scheim, Tom E.

Former afternoon show co-host Christian Arcand will host nights weekdays from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET. 

“Ted not only hoisted the Vince Lombardi trophy 3 times as a Patriot, but he also played alongside new Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel,” said Mike Thomas, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Boston. “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.”

“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,” said Johnson. “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!”
