WFAN/New York Adds ''Tiki & Tierney'' to Weekday Lineup
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, December 2, 2021 |
Audacy adds "Tiki & Tierney" to the weekday lineup on WFAN-FM & FM in New York. The duo, Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney, which had previously aired on CBS Sports Radio, will be heard on the station weekdays from 10am-2pm ET, effective January 3.
"Tiki and Tierney have a perspective and sound that is tailor made for New York City and their addition will further solidify WFAN's iconic position as the area's most influential sports platform," said Audacy New York Senior VP and Market Manager Chris Oliviero. "Both are already very familiar to the FAN audience, so their voices joining "Boomer & Gio" and "Carton & Roberts" creates a powerful must listen to our weekday lineup for both listeners and advertisers."
Barber played 10 seasons in the NFL with the New York Giants, retiring in 2007 as the team's all-time leading rusher, and all-purpose yardage leader. In 2010, he was inducted into the New York Giants inaugural Ring of Honor class and in January, 2011, he was enshrined into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. He began his broadcasting career working for WFAN in 1998, which led to stints at WCBS-TV, Sirius Satellite Radio, YES Network and eventually as a morning host on FOX News Channel's "Fox & Friends." After retiring from the NFL, Barber served as a correspondent for NBC News and Sports, principally, "The Today Show" and "Football Night in America," but also covering the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing for MSNBC.
Tierney, a Brooklyn native, also serves as a radio analyst for St. John's basketball games and hosts the "Red Storm Report" with former head coach Steve Lavin on MSG Network. In 2013, Tierney returned home to New York as host of CBS Sports Radio's morning program. Prior to CBS Sports Radio, Tierney hosted afternoons on San Francisco sister station KGMZ-FM (95.7 The Game).
