btvn sources have been telling us that 7 Sports anchor and reporter Larry Ridley has reportedly severed his relationship with WHDH. According to sources inside the station, the popular sports guy left the station after nearly six years. It’s a story you’ll see on just one station website.
After joining the station in 2006, Ridley became anchor of the weekend edition of 7 Sports and BMW Honda Acura SportsXtra. Prior to his time at 7 Bulfinch Place, however, Ridley was a sports reporter at sister-station WSVN. Throughout his tenure in Boston, Ridley became a popular figure due to his personable nature and quick wit.
Shortly after his quiet departure from the station, Ridley changed his Twitter handle and launched a new sports blog.
I called this weeks ago when you posed about the new hire of the new sports guy that never showed up. About time this was confirmed because I thought it was weird that he was not at the Patriots game day coverage on Sunday.
Do we know what caused the parting.?
We reached out to Mr. Ridley twice and emailed station management, neither one has responded.
