Report: CBS Radio Moving Yankees Broadcasts To WFAN

Mets Could Be Headed To WOR

The Yankees and CBS Radio are close to a deal that would put the Yankees on WFAN starting in 2014, a person familiar with the negotiations told Newsday.

The arrangement would bump the Mets off the station that has carried their games since WFAN's inception in 1987.

Lonn Trost, the Yankees' chief operating officer, said Tuesday a deal for the team's radio rights is "close," but he would not confirm or deny that WFAN is the likely landing place.

Jeff Wilpon, chief operating officer of the Mets, said Tuesday while attending a firehouse in Manhattan that it is "fairly accurate" that the Mets are leaving WFAN. Wilpon said he expects a resolution to the team's radio deal for 2014 and beyond in about six weeks.

It is not clear where the Mets would land, but options include ESPN Radio and one or more of the New York stations -- including WOR -- owned by Clear Channel Communications, which earlier in the process made a serious bid for the Yankees' rights.
