Marc Bertrand

Marc Bertrand began his radio career during his time at UMass Amherst, where he committed fully to WMUA, the student radio station. He started by offering assistance and by his sophomore year, he had become the sports director. This experience provided him with an understanding of professional broadcasting responsibilities and the foundational skills for his future career. His time at UMass Amherst, from which he graduated in 2007, provided him with practical applications of his communication studies in the field of radio broadcasting.

After his foundational experience at WMUA, Bertrand’s career progressed to a significant role at 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston. He became one of the station’s initial signings and later joined forces with Scott Zolak, forming the “Zolak & Bertrand” show, also known as “Zo & The Beetle.” This show broadcasts weekdays from 10 AM to 2 PM, establishing Bertrand as a prominent voice in the Boston sports radio market. His work includes discussions and analysis of sports topics, demonstrating his continued engagement with the sports community.

In 2023, Marc Bertrand signed a multiyear contract extension with Beasley Media Group, the parent company of 98.5 The Sports Hub. This extension solidified his position as co-host of the “Zolak & Bertrand” show and underscored his value to the station. He is recognized for his opinionated approach and his continued presence in Boston sports media and frequently appears on NBC Sports Boston, further expanding his reach.
