Last week, my friend Morgan White, Jr. became the host of Boston radio station WBZ's two weekend overnight shows. The Morgan Show now airs Friday nights/Saturday mornings (midnight to 5:30 a.m.), and Saturday nights/Sunday mornings (midnight to 3:30 a.m.).
For several years, Morgan has been the host of a Saturday night (10 to midnight) talk show on WBZ; that show ended last week, with the beginning of his new weekend overnight assignment.
Since 2016 (after longtime WBZ host Jordan Rich retired as host of the overnight weekend shows), Morgan has been one of the rotating hosts of the programs--at first, hosting the shows every third week, and, more recently, hosting them every other week. I'm delighted, for him, that he is now hosting the overnight shows every weekend.
He has, indeed, been a significant presence on WBZ for more than twenty years, as a regular guest host on the station. His guest hosting on the station will continue--including this coming evening (Sunday night/Monday morning), when he sits in for host Bradley Jay.
