Howie Carr's longtime Producer to host her own show

J

john garrett

Word is that Nancy Shack aka Sandy the longtime producer for Howie Carr will take over the 12p-3p slot on AM 1510 WMEX. I have no idea if she will continue to work with Howie I have noticed that the new guy from Maine seems to have eclipsed her.

She seems to have been absent from Howie's show...and I hear some "board op"(?) chiming in from time to time.

Will Nancy do the show from the MoneyMatters studio? Is the plan to offer it as a pair to Howie's stations?

I believe that she will be doing the show from 1510's Quincy studios and will be employed by the staion and she has parted ways with Carr who she has worked with for more than 20 years. I also believe that Carr is focused on selling his show to both stations and advertisers and is not interested in marketing a second show.

I always felt Sandy deserved her very own show; she's that good, IMHO.

But it's unfortunate she and Howie had to separate to do it. Heck, he's probably been with her longer than with either of his wives, no? ;)
 
Guy from Maine is Steve Robinson.
Well...this may mean "WMEX has updated their profile" on facebook--new lineup change, banner?

"File under...Radio Shack"
 
I have no idea if Howie Carr is involved in the show but my sense is that he is not and Nancy is out on her own. After the difficulties Carr had with his program on MEX, I doubt he would get involved with them again. I believe his main focus is the sale and distribution of his own program
 
Nancy was one of Jerry Williams last producers. She is also a lawyer.
Bet she had ton bite her tongue over the years when Carr's act set him into ad hominem attacks.
 
SANDY SHACK TO JOIN 1510 AM WMEX ON JANUARY 4!

Longtime multi-media Bostonian Sandy Shack To launch New Daily Afternoon Drive Time Radio Show [12pm to 3 pm] on the City’s Hottest New Station 1510 AM WMEX Boston.
Sandy Shack is an award winning broadcaster with over 20 years' of experience in the Boston local, New England regional and nation markets. She is best known as the Executive Producer of the syndicated juggernaut The Howie Carr Show where she appeared as the voice of reason to Howie's rants while periodically poking the bear when she was inclined. She was also his permanent fill in host bringing a new slant on the pressing issues of the day to Howie's audience.
A native to Massachusetts, Sandy grew up splitting her time between Cape Cod and Washington D.C. These early roots in the nation's Capitol instilled in her a love of politics which she pursued on Capitol Hill with jobs ranging from senate page to Senate Select Committee staff member. Sandy is a graduate from Boston College Law School with a Juris Doctorate and background in economics. Sandy began her broadcasting career in the legal wing of RKO General to which she was quickly drafted by the programming department of the company's Boston station, WRKO. Sandy quickly learned the art of producing with the Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox and legal advice shows culminating with the two National Radio Hall of Fame inducted shows: The Jerry Williams Show and The Howie Carr Show.
Speaking of her new show Sandy Said “ Who says dreams don't come true! I hope everyone who has been so supportive over the years comes and joins me at my new home 1510 WMEX for my very own show!”
Bryan Berner Sr General Manager of 1510 WMEX "We are all excited to bring Sandy into the 1510 WMEX family.Sandy is a perfect match for what we are doing here at 1510 WMEX"
Sandy will be talking about national/local topics of interest from 12p to 3p on 1510 WMEX beginning Jan 4, 2016. Ms. Shack will be joining a program lineup that includes Renegade Radio 6a to 10a, ,The Michele McPhee Show 3p to 7 p, The Capitol Hill Show with Tim Constantine 7p to 10 p and Michael Savage 10 p to 1 a.
WMEX, licensed to Quincy, MA, to Daly XXL Communications and is a News/Talk station operating with a 50,000 watt signal from studios in Quincy, MA. In addition to the metro-Boston area, the 1510 WMEX broadcast signal covers eastern, central, and northern MA, as well as parts of New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
 
Do you think they'll finally update their banner Ad in the Boston Herald? Banner Ads for both WMEX and WCRN in the Herald that were incorrect almost as soon as they started running them. IMHO, very unprofessional.
 
I've mentioned that before and last night I went on WMEX's facebook and wisecracked about it. "WMEX", presumably GM Bryan Berner, said " Unfortunately we have no control over that. We have asked multiple times."

So, Herald problem? Presumably this is in exchange for carrying Herald Radio. The ad lists the month-long morning show with Joe Ligotti (ran from June 2 to July 10 I believe) with "Renegade Radio" at noon. One facebook comment I read said he thought Ligotti left because he didn't want to do the "sissy topics" they wanted him to do.
Here's an updated banner via the WMEX facebook

Heard parts of it.Her producer or board operator is
named Dave. Jimmy from Revere and Officer Mark
called in.Oops moment was when she said the
Clinton manse was in Chappaquiddick;nobody
caught it..also as she predicted at least once
she said "you're next on the Howie Carr show".

Howie didn't mention her leaving,from what I
heard.Sandy said on her show her
last day was Christmas Eve and
she accepted WMEX's offer.
 
Listened a bit today... her style is very mellow. Almost like NPR. Not exactly what you expect when you tune into a political talk show. LOL Haven't heard a sidekick yet; she'd benefit from an upbeat one. Content was very good, tho. I wish her all the best.

Why, oh why, was VB given much spotlight while Sandy was still with Howie?

Once when we was subbing for Howie, I texted how nice it was to hear her hosting the show (I've always loved her soft voice), and that it would be nice to have far more of her on the air and way-y-y-y-y less VB and "The Colonel".

I always thought she should have her own show; I just never thought it would be disconnected from Howie, though.
