WFAN/New York Celebrates 30 Years on the Air


Congratulations to CBS Radio's WFAN/New York, which is celebrating 30 years on the air on Thursday, June 22. The sports radio outlet was the first and only outlet to where listeners could hear and talk about sports 24/7. The station has been broadcasting play-by-play, opinions from hosts and listeners, interviews with sports stars and breaking news ever since Suzyn Waldman's memorable sports update nearly 30 years ago. In honor of 30 years on the air, WFAN will celebrate with a special day of live broadcasts from Vanderbilt Hall inside Grand Central Terminal in midtown Manhattan on Thursday, June 22 from 6am to 6:30pm.

"WFAN has been setting the standard for sports talk and information since its inception. As we celebrate 30 years, we are so very proud of our entire on-air and behind-the-scenes teams both, past and present, who have worked tirelessly to deliver live and local sports content that continues to make a difference for our advertisers and listeners," said CBS Radio New York Senior VP/Market Manager Marc Rayfield.

OM Mark Chernoff added, "We are proud to be a part of the fabric of New York sports. WFAN has wonderful, appreciative and engaged listeners who are the backbone of the station, as well as leading talent, that together allow WFAN to achieve groundbreaking success and have helped the station become an institution in the Big Apple. It is no coincidence that the station is nicknamed 'The Fan,' acting as a mouthpiece for die-hard sports enthusiasts."

Over the past 30 years, WFAN has been anchored by marquee personalities such as Mike Francesa and Boomer & Carton, whose programs consistently are the #1 ranked radio shows in the #1 radio market with the station's target audience of Men 25-54. In addition, WFAN is heard by almost two million people each week, making it the most listened to sports radio station in America.
