Boston Radio: John Dennis Says Kirk Minihane Is 'Instigator'

Relations between WEEI 93.7 FM's John Dennis  and his morning show on-air partners have been on the decline for more than a year, and word is, Dennis has had it.

The Boston Herald is reporting last summer he went off on Gerry Callahan and Kirk Minihane, saying they were trying to freeze him out.

“There is just this total indifference,” Dennis said on the air, adding that Minihane was “the instigator.”

“He wants to be the straw that stirs the drink,” he said.

Minihane joined the “Dennis & Callahan” show in 2013 and since then ratings have 
increased — especially when he is “instigating.”

While it’s no secret that Dennis is tired of Minihane’s schtick, some insiders suspect that it is only part of the reason he wants out.

“You can do a radio show with someone you don’t get along with,” said one source. “But it’s just a grind getting up every day at 4 a.m. and he’s been doing it for 
19 years.”

Dennis and management will be discussing his future over the next two weeks and whether he can return to the station in some capacity.

Entercom bosses are said to be wary of losing him prematurely because he has strong endorsement relationships with a number of advertisers.
