Mike Salk leaving 710 ESPN Seattle
We'll have a few weeks to give him a more proper sendoff, but this is a quick announcement of something you might have heard earlier Tuesday: Mike Salk is leaving 710 ESPN Seattle for a radio job in his hometown of Boston.
Mike and Brock Huard made the announcement Tuesday morning. You can listen here.
Mike is expected to stick around until mid-March before making the switch to WEEI 93.7 FM, where he'll co-host afternoon drive with Michael Holley. It will be a homecoming for Mike, who grew up in the Boston suburb of Sudbury and worked at 890 ESPN Radio in Boston before coming to 710 ESPN Seattle.
Mike's contributions during his nearly four years here cannot be overstated. His vision and tireless work ethic helped "Brock and Salk" reach a No. 1 ranking, and he's played a major role in the growth of 710Sports.com.
Again, we will have some time to send Mike off in style. But for now, I can speak for everyone here when I say that we'll miss him.

Brock Huard has co-hosted the show since 2009. After earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors at Puyallup High School, Brock went on to a record-setting career at Washington and then spent six years in the NFL, including four with the Seahawks. Brock also works for ESPN as a college football analyst in the booth and the studio. He makes his home on the Eastside with his wife Molly and their three young children.
Danny O'Neil, the new co-host of "Brock and Danny", is the son of a logger, a graduate of the University of Washington and has been a working journalist in Seattle since 1999, first at newspapers and since 2012 at 710 ESPN Seattle. He is married to Sharon Pian Chan, associate opinions editor at The Seattle Times. They live on Capitol Hill with their wrinkled, smelly dog.
