NYC Radio: Justin Shackil 'Steps Away' From WFAN

Justin Shackil
Justin Shackil, who was part of the rotation for the New York Yankees radio coverage in 2024, is exiting the WFAN lineup in 2025 to focus on his television work.

Shackil became one of the primary Yankees' radio broadcasters last season after John Sterling announced his retirement last year.

However, this season, the Yankees and WFAN have filled Sterling's position from the outside, hiring former Seattle Mariners broadcaster Dave Sims. That likely has made it easier for Shackil to step away from the radio coverage.

He put out the announcement on social media:

The Yankees are coming off a season in which they won the American League East and advanced to the World Series, falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.

Though they lost Juan Soto this offseason, the Yankees still figure to be very strong after adding Max Fried, Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger. That's in addition to having a full season of Jazz Chisholm Jr., who they acquired at the trade deadline last season from the Miami Marlins.
