More Slashing at WEEI: John Rooke Cut After 30 Years

WEEI, the Boston-based sports radio station, continues to slash costs, offices and people.

On Monday morning, John Rooke, a long-time WEEI contributor, announced he is the latest to be cut.

“After a nearly 30-year association with WEEI and weei.com, I've been informed my writing position has been eliminated. I appreciate all Entercom, and now Audacy, Inc. have allowed me to contribute over the years, whether on air or on the web,” wrote Rooke on social media.

Rooke’s announcement comes just days after the New York Stock Exchange announced it was delisting WEEI’s parent company Audacy. 

 

Rhode Island Exodus

In Rhode Island, WEEI recently closed its offices.

As GoLocal reported in April, WEEI shuttered its Rhode Island operations.

The Boston-based sports radio station has had a presence in Rhode Island for nearly two decades — now, no more.
