Emmanuel Berbari will serve as the postgame show host for WFAN's flagship New York Yankees broadcasts. Berbari, who has been with the station's Yankees Radio Network for three seasons, will continue to serve as a fill-in play-by-play announcer. Berbari joins longtime color commentator and pregame host Suzyn Waldman and play-by-play voice Dave Sims on the WFAN broadcast team.

"We are excited to have Emmanuel take on an expanded role as the postgame show host for WFAN's Yankees broadcasts," said Chris Oliviero, Market President, Audacy New York. "Emmanuel has been a terrific contributor to our team coverage the last few seasons and his passion for the game makes him a perfect fit to wrap up each game for the fans of the Bronx Bombers."

"Growing up hanging on every pitch and each word on Yankees Radio, the opportunity to be a part of the team these last two seasons has been surreal," Berbari said. "I'm thrilled to continue the relationship and look forward to working with Suzyn, Dave and everyone at WFAN and the Yankees this season."

Berbari first joined WFAN's Yankees Radio Network behind the scenes from 2018 to 2021 before moving into on-air roles. He made his Major League Baseball play-by-play debut in 2023. In addition to his work with WFAN, he contributes to SportsNet New York (SNY) and calls Big East Basketball for FOX Sports, along with MAAC and Atlantic 10 coverage. His past experience includes play-by-play roles with the Hudson Valley Renegades, Chatham Anglers, and ESPN's digital platforms.

Berbari has earned five New York State Broadcasters Association and Associated Press awards, two STAA Jim Nantz All-American honors, and three Marty Glickman Awards during his time at Fordham University's WFUV.
