Beasley Media Group’s powerhouse Sports Talk Station, 98.5 The Sports Hub, will celebrate its 15-year anniversary on the air in Boston next week!
The Station hit the airwaves on August 13th, 2009 with replays of the New England Patriots 2001, 2003 and 2004 Super Bowl winning radio broadcasts, followed by the inaugural Felger & Mazz show. In addition, Sports Hub will celebrate this landmark anniversary throughout the entire week with introspections both On-air, on its YouTube channel as well as on all Social Media platforms.
Launched on an FM signal (a rarity at the time for a Sports Talk radio station), The Sports Hub quickly rose up the ranks through the Boston market and was quickly recognized among the top Sports Talk radio stations in the country.
Throughout its 15-year history, the Station has received numerous industry accolades, including the National Association of Broadcasters’ Marconi Award for Sports Station of the Year in 2011, 2014, 2019 and 2023.
As the official flagship radio station for the New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins and New England Revolution, the Sports Hub has been a part of an unprecedented run of championships in Boston, many of which aired live on the Station. Continually top-rated shows, outstanding talent and loyal listeners have all contributed to the overall success of the Station over its history.
“For me, being with the station since day one, I have always felt proud and privileged to be a part of the Sports Hub team these past 15 years,” said station Program Director Rick Radzik. “We look forward to celebrating the milestone all next week on air and online with many stories and recollections from our on-air talent.”
“I am so proud of this amazing team, most of who have been here from the beginning, and have built and grown this amazing brand that is intrinsically intertwined with Boston sports history for the past 15 years,” said Mary Menna, Beasley Media Group Regional Vice President and Boston Market Manager.
