This weekend's shows will be his last--though he will
continue to be heard on the station, via recorded features: his daily "Connoisseur’s
Corner" segment, as well as his "New England Weekend" feature. This Monday evening he will also--as in the past--anchor the
station's annual July 4th special; the program airs from Boston's Esplanade, and
features a concert by the Boston Pops.
His weekday work as co-owner of Chart Productions, an audio
production company outside of Boston, will continue. He co-founded the company--which also provides marketing and voice-over
services--in 1980.
His last Friday/Saturday show airs tonight, on WBZ, from
midnight to 5 a.m. His final Saturday/Sunday program can be heard from midnight to 3:30 a.m.
Jordan Rich is a terrific broadcaster--warm, funny,
insightful, engaging. Along with so many
others, I will miss, very much, his immensely enjoyable weekend programs.
