NYC Radio: Sweeny Murti Gets MLB Digital Gig

Sweeny Murti

Longtime WFAN Yankees reporter Sweeny Murti is back after having left the station last month, but he isn’t leaving baseball. The NY Post reports Murti has joined Major League Baseball, where he will serve in a multimedia role for its social media team as well as on podcasts and other projects, he announced Thursday.

“This is a phenomenal opportunity that will allow me to help promote this wonderful game and tell the stories that bring its great players and personalities closer to you,” he tweeted.

The move comes after Murti spent three decades at WFAN, where the Middletown, Pa., native began his tenure in 1993 as a producer and on-air anchor before moving into the role of Yankees reporter in 2001.

“Along the way I was so privileged to work on the biggest events in sports with legendary performers and personalities. The highlight of it all was spending the last 2 years talking to you about the New York Yankees,” Murti said last month in announcing his departure.

“Everything good in my adult life truly began when I started as a producer at the FAN in March 1993. More good things are on the way – of that I am sure. I am eager to begin the next chapter.”
