CBS Radio announced on Monday that it has finalized its
purchase of radio station 101.9 WFAN-FM in New York. The station features a simulcast of the
award-winning programming of Sports Radio 66 WFAN-AM. With this acquisition,
CBS Radio owns and
operates seven stations in the nation’s No. 1 market.
WFAN-AM is the original and longest-running sports radio
station in the nation, celebrating its 25th anniversary this past July. With
more listeners than any other station of its kind, The FAN provides audiences
across the Tri-State Area with live and local programming 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, and is home to leading personalities Mike Francesa, Boomer
Esiason, Craig Carton, Joe Benigno, Evan Roberts and Steve Somers.
The station is also the flagship broadcast home for several
area sports teams, including the New York Giants, New York Mets, Brooklyn Nets
and New Jersey Devils. WFAN-AM is the
recipient of four prestigious Marconi Awards from the National Association of
Broadcasters, including most recently Francesa being honored as Major Market
Personality of the Year.
In addition to the station’s programming being available on
AM at 660 and FM at 101.9, WFAN can be heard online at WFAN.com and via the
Radio.com app for a variety of mobile devices.
