Partners of “The Game”





Matt Perrault

Matt Perrault is the daily host of "The HomeTeam" and also the General Manager at Absolute Broadcasting. Perrault has returned to his roots after leaving New England in 2000 to start his career in radio.

After graduating from UMass Amherst in 1999, Perrault set out to gain the experience necessary to one day land a job talking Boston area sports. His career took him to Virginia, Alabama, Nebraska and most recently, Iowa where he hosted several highly successful sports talk shows. Matt has also guest hosted on WEEI in Boston.

A well rounded sports nut, Perrault has covered the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA football and NCAA basketball in some of the most famous venues sports has to offer.

An Andover, MA native, Perrault is extremely excited to help take Absolute Broadcasting to a new level as the radio station continues to grow and heads in the right direction.

JUSTIN BASTINELLI

Justin Bastinelli Justin Bastinelli has been with WGAM since 2007. He co-hosts and produces for the “Home Team” and is the Operational Manager for Absolute Broadcasting

His passion for radio started in 2004 doing play-by-play with the Lowell Spinners. From there, he got a degree in Radio Broadcasting at Columbia College in Chicago, IL. From there, he stayed in Chicago to produce for CBS radio and then moved on to WGN, home of the Chicago Cubs and producing for The Sports Central Show on WGN radio, with Dave Kaplan and Tom Waddle.

Bastinelli also does some scouting for MLB and the NFL. In 2005 he hooked up with STATS LLC. and continues to work out of home for the scouting bureau.

Like Perrault, Justin is from Andover, MA and knew at an early age that he wanted to be working closely to sports. Even after feeling the pain of Magic putting the Celtics away with a sky hook, or Buckner letting the ball go through his legs, or Edmonton sweeping the Bruins in the Stanley cup playoffs and enduring all the 1-15, 3-13 Patriots seasons to fully appreciate the run these teams are having.
