Entercom and WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM today announced a new programming lineup for New York’s flagship sports station, effective January 6, 2020.
“This is quite an impressive lineup of talent on WFAN as we remain the one and only place to talk New York sports all day, every day,” said Mark Chernoff, Senior Vice President, Entercom New York. “Combined with our play-by-play of New York Yankees baseball, New York Giants football, Brooklyn Nets basketball and New Jersey Devils hockey, as well as our slate of National Football League games, we look forward to expanding our position as the flagship station for New York sports fans.”
As part of the revamped lineup, Maggie Gray will be reunited with longtime WFAN on-air personality Marc “Moose” Malusis weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET to host “Moose and Maggie.” Gray joined WFAN in January 2018 and prior to that was part of CBS Sports Radio, where she co-hosted a Saturday morning show with Malusis.
