Rich Shertenlieb, former 98.5 The Sports Hub morning drive co-host, taking over WZLX morning show
Rich Shertenlieb, former co-host of 98.5 The Sports Hub’s highly-rated morning radio show, is taking over the morning show at classic rock station 100.7 WZLX-FM.
He’ll replace Pete McKenzie and Heather Ford, the station announced in a video posted to social media on Monday afternoon. WZLX is owned by iHeartRadio.
“Hey Boston Hey. I missed you,” Shertenlieb said in a social media post of his own Monday aternoon.
“Boy oh boy are there a lot of things we need to talk about the lest of which including how non-competes are the worst and should be totally illegal but also about how much I’ve missed you and how I’ve worked every day over the last several months to put together this show and great group of co-hosts,” reads a panel included in the video.
The new show, titled “The Rich Shertenlieb Show,” is coming “soon,” according to the video. No specific date and no further details were given.
McKenzie and Ford had co-hosted WZLX’s morning show since 2005 alongside Kevin Karlson, who died unexpectedly last year.
Shertenlieb left the popular “Toucher & Rich” morning radio show on 98.5 The Sports Hub late last year after a tumultuous period for the show.
Rob “Hardy” Poole has since replaced Shertenlieb as Toucher’s co-host on 98.5. The new show is called “Toucher & Hardy.”

A theft ring stole hundreds of catalytic converters in Mass. and NH. Here’s how an eBay order helped bust them
As recently as last year, Massachusetts and New Hampshire were plagued with catalytic converter thefts — under the dark of night, thieves would cut the valuable components from the undercarriage of cars and trucks, leaving people and businesses to deal with their disabled vehicles come morning.
That was until federal authorities arrested a group of seven men for stealing hundreds of stolen catalytic converters, as well as for targeting ATMs and jewelry stores. Since, the problem of stolen converters is “largely a thing of the past,” Assistant U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, Phil Mallard, said. He prosecuted the case.
The arrests were made in April of 2023, and included the ringleader of the group, Rafael Davila — also known as “Robin Hood.” Since, they’ve all pleaded guilty.
“This case was about highly-skilled, smart people deciding to put all of that expertise into illegal activity,” Acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy said. “They created hundreds and hundreds of victims around the Commonwealth and now they’re going to pay the price for that.”
Levy and Mallard sat down with NBC10 Boston to give an inside look at the investigation that ended with the arrest of the theft ring — including the extensive planning and coordinating by Davila and how an eBay purchase helped crack the case.
See the interviews, and surveillance footage of the thefts, in the video at the top of this story.
