NYC Radio: Eddie Scozzare Signs Off After 37 Years at WFAN

Eddie Scozzare, the longtime producer and board operator for Audacy’s WFAN morning drive, officially ended his 37-year career on Friday, signing off in front of fans, colleagues, and cameras during the station’s “Kickoff to Summer” celebration in Belmar, New Jersey.

The 47-year-old Scozzare was celebrated by the station, its current morning show Boomer and Gio, and loyal listeners who gathered for the event. A true WFAN lifer, he became one of the few behind-the-scenes figures to build a genuine on-air connection with the audience through his quick wit, perfectly timed drops, and endless supply of trivia.

Over nearly four decades, Scozzare ran the board for many of the station’s biggest personalities, including Don Imus, Steve Somers, Mike and the Mad Dog, Boomer and Carton, and most recently Boomer and Gio. His deep institutional knowledge and distinctive personality made him synonymous with WFAN’s heritage as New York’s premier sports radio station.

Last week, Scozzare reflected on his career during a show appearance, revealing his one major regret: he didn’t study forestry in school, which stood in the way of his dream of becoming a park ranger. He noted, however, that national parks welcome volunteers — a potential post-radio pursuit that could help fill the void left by his departure from the airwaves.

While Scozzare now faces life after WFAN, the station faces its own challenge: replacing a one-of-a-kind talent. No other board operator has been with WFAN for its entire modern history, and few can match Scozzare’s ability to seamlessly interject sound bites, drops, and humorous commentary that enhanced the morning shows for generations of listeners.
