I was fairly surprised to see on the WHDH web page that Joe Amorosino will be marking his 10th anniversary at the station this year. The channel 7 sports director also hosts the Sunday night Sports Xtra, but hasn't made the leap to regular sports radio appearances. Prior to being hired at WHDH, Amorosino worked … Continue reading Approval Ratings – Joe Amorosino

Approval Ratings – Mike Gorman
