Dale Arnold Bio
Dale Arnold (born March 27, 1956) is a sportscaster who is primarily known as the co-host of the Dale & Holley Show on WEEI and the former play-by-play announcer for the Boston Bruins.
A Bowdoin College alum, Arnold began calling games for the school teams while a student there in the mid-1970's. In 1979, he succeeded Mike Emrick as the voice of the Maine Mariners. He joined the New Jersey Devils as their radio announcer in 1986, before returning to New England two years later. Arnold called New England Patriots games from 1988-90, and provided play-by-play coverage for Bruins home games from 1995-2007.
Arnold currently hosts a midday talk show, Dale & Holley, with former Boston Globe columnist Michael Holley on Sportsradio 850 WEEI in Boston from 10 AM to 2 PM. Arnold has been with the radio station since its inception on September 1, 1991 and has been a constant in the midday time slot for several years.
Dale is the only sportscaster to do the play-by-pay for ALL FIVE major sports teams in New England (Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution).
Arnold, a two-time Emmy Award winner, and his wife Susan, have three children, Taylor, Alysha, and Brianna.
Michael Holley
Michael Holley joined the midday show at WEEI in March of 2005 after successful ventures in both television and writing. Michael graduated from Point Park University in 1992 and began his career in journalism at the Akron Beacon Journal covering high school sports and later on the Cleveland Cavaliers. In 1993, Holley was one of a dozen reporters who contributed to the Beacon Journal's Pulitzer Prize winning series "A Question of Color." Michael came to the Boston Globe in 1994 and covered the Boston Celtics for three and a half years. Michael brought a fresh and edgy approach to the Globe after becoming a columnist in 1998. In September 2001, he briefly worked at the Chicago Tribune before returning to his previous position with the Globe that same year. Michael further made his presence felt on the national stage with appearances on ESPN's popular show "Around the Horn" and later on Fox SportsNet's "I, MAX." He solidified his reputation as one of the nation's most talented writers with his New York Times best selling "Patriot Reign". He has also written "Red Sox Rule" with Terry Francona, and "Never Give Up" with Tedy Bruschi.
Michael Berger joined the Dale and Holley show as a full-time producer in June 2008. He first became involved with WEEI through two summer internships with the Dennis and Callahan show in 2006 and 2007. In addition to his position as producer for Dale and Holley, Michael also serves as the Digital Content Coordinator for WRKO. Michael graduated from Ithaca College, summa cum laude, in December 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of Sport Media. At Ithaca, he was very active with both of the school’s radio stations as a broadcaster and producer. There, he served as Sports Director and was selected by his peers as the Outstanding Sportscaster of the Year for 2006-07. It should come as no surprise that the Andover resident loves watching sports, especially the Red Sox and Patriots. Michael also enjoys the television shows “The Office” and “24” and is a big fan of the band U2.
James Stewart, a life long native of Newton, Massachusetts, is one of the co-producers on the Dale and Holley program. James started working at WEEI as an intern with “The Dennis and Callahan Morning Show” in September of 2000.
