Absolutely horrendous. Guess I won't be listening anymore.
Yes, but I believe it's a sister station of WFAN, so it's an easier move logistically.

in Philly, afternoon drive like a year ago? He's leaving there and that spot already?

Oh ok, thanks.
Recco can't even stop himself from talking over Boomer. He's not even close to Gianotti and that's not really saying that much. I was hoping for Brian Jones.
That afternoon pair is abysmal. Carlin's whiny voice combined with Bart Scott's lack of knowledge (he spent an entire segment with Malusis a couple of months ago referring to Mike Tomlin as "Coach Tomlinson") is going to be brutal.
+1
Francesa might turn out to be a prophet when he said “no more FAN”.
That’s a brutal lineup. I’ve heard they’re already paring down costs out of fear they’ll lose a ton of advertisers and other revenue next year.
I'll never under these idiots either. Francesa was always on the level and never really stated anything that was extreme. Then I logon to this board and read absolute garbage on these forums.
Thanks BBI; a beacon and wealth of knowledge.
I give that show 6 months max
Bart Scott, Chris Carlin and other is WFAN doing their rendition of local host (Alan hahn/Dave Rothenberg), black local former athlete (Chris Canty) and a third probably other athlete. Chris simms is absolutely horrible. WFAN should have thought outside the box and put Katie Nolan on the air. She's too wild for old men driving home i guess but Bart Scott won't last... And the continued trend of ny radio personalities who know nothing ablut one of the 4 major sports continues
Kim Jones AND Max Kellerman turned them down. They are literally trotting out their fourth and fifth choices.
Begs the question whether Beningo and Roberts chose to stay together at 10-2 rather than be broken up.

They'll be the unquestioned best show on the station. I wouldn't change anything now either.
Yep. They might take over the ratings in that timeslot now. And if that is what WFAN is going to trot out there in that timeslot, WFAN deserves to get destroyed in that timeslot. That show will suck.
Nobody talk hockey. It isn’t just mike. It doesn’t get listeners

Seems irrational to do otherwise.
Joe and Evan 10-2 makes sense. Nobody will ever do 5 1/2 hours again. Especially solo.
I didn't realize that Gianotti has become just another vulgarian. He semed like he had promise when he was Bro and Evan's producer.
Mike being gone will be a big void.
Exactly!
The 2-6 is worse than the Kay show and that's hard to do. There is no reason to ever listen to Bart Scott for even 5 minutes.
I think FAN made a good decision not moving Roberts to afternoon drive right now. Beningo wouldn't work there but he's not going to be around much longer. FAN needs to find a partner for Roberts who is a Yankee and Giant fan and as invested in sports as Roberts. Someone around the same age and when 2-6 fails in a year or less move those two to drive time. But if they wait too long they'll lose the ratings battle and might not be able to reverse it.
Just saw this. I'm done with FAN in the afternoon. 3 in the booth, think ESPN Sunday night baseball. Unlistenable.
My original idea of Max Kellerman and Kim Jones would have been great. Carlin and Jones would have been okay too. This will be a disaster.
Mike Francesa to be replaced by Chris Carlin, Bart Scott and Maggie Gray for new WFAN afternoon drive team: sources - ( New Window )
