A 98.5 The Sports Hub fan favorite who had been floated as a possible replacement for host Rich Shertenlieb on “Toucher and Rich” is adamant that he won’t be switching to the “miserable” morning hours.

Jim Murray, also known as “Big Jim,” says he’s “comfortable and happy” in the afternoons as the third chair on “Felger and Mazz.”

So even if Beasley Media Group offered Murray double the money for him to fill the Shertenlieb role in the mornings, Big Jim says he would pass.

On Wednesday, Murray was asked if he was in the running for the open “Toucher and Rich” role, and if he would start waking up at 3:30 a.m.

“I’ve had a conversation with my agent about it. I told him I’m 100% not interested,” Murray said on Facebook Live during the “Off-Air Show” with Mike Felger.

“Why not?” Felger asked.

“I’m comfortable with where I’m at,” Big Jim responded.

“What if it’s double the money?” Felger asked.

“So this is what makes my agent very upset because there’s been another opportunity before,” Murray said. “He’s like, ‘This is what the money is.’ I’m like, ‘Cool. Great. I’m not interested.’ ”

Murray’s agent has called him a “different client” in the past after turning down more money.

“I’m about being comfortable and happy, so yeah, it doesn’t really matter what the money is,” Murray said. “It’d be nice, but I’d be miserable.”

“If I’m ever going to do mornings, it’s going to have to be my thing,” he added. “That’s just a me thing because those hours will destroy your life. I last did them 10 years ago, and that was what I put in my brain at the time — if it were to ever happen again, it’s 100% my terms, my thing, how I want to do it.”

Last week, Shertenlieb left the morning show after a longtime run with Fred Toucher.

“I’m stunned,” Felger said about the morning show shakeup. “Like, these jobs are rare and they are well-paying, and it is a successful show. I mean, it’s just you don’t see a guy walk away from a successful radio show like that. You just don’t see it.

“So I’m hoping, I believe he’s got to have something as good, if not better, in his back pocket or something,” Felger said to Murray. “Maybe like you’re thing: Maybe it’s not as well-paying but is more interesting to him and more challenging to him and would make him happier, but he’s got to have something.”

Other than Murray, a top name being mentioned as a replacement on the morning show has been Rob “Hardy” Poole, who’s on the midday 98.5 show “Zolak and Bertrand.”

Both Felger and Murray agreed that Hardy would be a good fit for the morning show, with his production work and music background.

Murray called it “logical” for Hardy to fill the morning show opening.

Hardy has been floated for months as the new morning co-host while rumors swirled about Shertenlieb’s future.
