@bostonradio Movie Loft returning?

Some big local media news is about to drop later today.👀

Nathan’s Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest isn’t going away after the company was purchased by Virginia-based Smithfield Foods, which is owned by China's WH Group. The contest will continue at Coney Island with the same longtime emcee, FOS has learned.

If you had to name just one spot in Massachusetts for the best chicken wings—where are you sending them?

@darrenrovell Have you seen a Steve Grogan rookie card? If so, how much?

This collector is adding Spurrier and Manziel to his Heisman helmet.

Happy National Hot Dog Day! In this early photo of Nathan's you can see the store's logo created by Coney Island sign painter Harry Wildman. We circled his credit in red. You can listen to our oral history with Wildman's great grandson Randy Profeta here: coneyislandhistory.org/oral-history-a…

50 years ago, Willie released his very first number one hit, #BlueEyesCryingIntheRain! Who knows what album this classic is featured on?

@ChristianWGME nice sunny weekend

A nice little dip in humidity is on the way for tomorrow, with highs in many spots staying in the 60s. Nice break from the heat! We start warming back up late week with nice, sunny weather returning as we head into the weekend. #mewx

Yo, Eric! Welcome to Maine. Go win this thing. @BadlandsBooker pressherald.com/2025/07/09/lis…

Still not over everything that went down at the 2025 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. The energy, the crowd, the eaters — iconic. Until next year, Coney Island.

@FletcherWDSU @RousesMarkets @FQFestNOLA Joey & Miki have nothing on los hermanos Mackel

Amazing day with @originalnathans @eatingcontest and @espn Congrats to the great @joeyjaws and 11-time champ @OMGitsMIKI Also, I want one of these hats:

@ScottJenningsKY The Nathan's Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest has all the charm of Jeff Bezos wedding.

@OnlyInBOS The 9's at Lowell Connector

One lobster roll. One Massachusetts recommendation. Where are you sending someone who’s never had one?
