Potential successors to Damon Amendolara narrowing

On the occasion of Damon Amendolara’s final show as the evening host on 98.5 The Sports Hub — the affable CBS Sports Radio-bound host grounds “The Mothership,’’ the fun if slightly forced catchphrase for his program, on Friday — it seems appropriate to take stock of where the search for his successor stands.

Here’s what we do know: Marc Bertrand, whose willingness to challenge hosts Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti, often humorously, from his position as update anchor on the afternoon drive program, has been informed that he is not a candidate. According to multiple industry sources, Bertrand, who coveted the position, is out of the running in part because he was deemed too valuable in his current role.
