OT: Some pretty big local media moves

[Deus Irae]

1. Holley's leaving WEEI for more work at NBCBoston (Today was his last day)
   
2. Smith's leaving NBCBoston for BarstoolNY (Friday is her last day)

It has been a while since there has been a major change in hosts on either of Boston’s highly rated sports radio stations. But a big one came down Wednesday.

Michael Holley, who co-hosts WEEI’s afternoon drive program along with Dale Arnold and Rich Keefe, announced he is leaving the program to join NBC Sports Boston full time. His final show was Wednesday.

Holley, already a co-host of NBC Sports Boston’s weekday evening program “Boston Sports Tonight,’’ will take on an expanded role, though the specifics are not yet certain.

So (probably) more Holley on TV, less Holley on Radio.

Words would probably not suffice for me to adequately convey the depths of my dislike of Smith as a sports host/commentator, but I wish her the best of luck somewhere else.

Will miss Holley, but have no idea about Kayce Smith... my brain cannot handle all of the idle banter on network sports TV, every time I turn it on there is usually Felger, Tanguay or some other bottom feeder... then there are the commercials.
