“Justice for Christian Fauria” is what some fans are saying after WEEI decided they would shake up their lineup with a series of moves.
This week, the radio station announced that it was firing several people, including midday hosts Andy Gresh and Christian Fauria.
The station’s parent company, Audacy, announced that Andy Hart and Christian Arcand would be the new duo for the afternoon drive from 2:00 p.m. through 6:00 p.m. and that Adam Jones and Rich Keefe will “reunite” to co-host middays from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m, per The New York Post.
For those who might not remember, Fauria’s 13-year career as an NFL tight end included four seasons in New England, where he would win two Super Bowls during the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady regime.
Christian Fauria has been with WEEI since 2014.
When the news came out, fans were quite pissed about the changes and let the company know about it in the comments:
