 Chris Canty and Chris Carlin |
Chris Canty, Super Bowl XLVI Champion with the New York Giants, and Chris Carlin will debut the new, national show "Canty & Carlin" from 3-7pm ET as part of ESPN Radio's weekday afternoon lineup, beginning Monday, April 25. "Canty & Carlin" will mark Carlin's full-time national ESPN Radio debut. The Emmy-winning host most recently led his self-titled show on WEPN (98.7 FM ESPN)/New York since 2019.
"I'm fired up to work with Carlin. We were able to establish chemistry going back to our days working at 98.7FM in New York," said Canty. "He's a pro's pro that puts in the work to be at his best and also bring out the best in others. We both take sports seriously, but we won't take ourselves serious. We'll keep our audience informed, make them think and hopefully get a few laughs along the way."
Carlin added, "I'm thrilled to be part of the national lineup for ESPN Radio, especially to be working alongside a pro like Chris. ESPN has been a great fit for me these last few years and I can't wait to continue my career with the network. Chris and I both have strong points of view. I know we will have fun getting into the details with the players and fans who share our lifelong passion for sports."
VP, Content Strategy and Audio Amanda Gifford said, "Chris Canty and Chris Carlin both bring strong expertise, perspective and opinion as well as great energy to every show and topic they discuss. We're excited to be able to have them together on a national platform and for fans to enjoy this new duo every afternoon."
Prior to ESPN New York, Carlin was a fixture on the New York sports TV and radio scene for over a decade including hosting New York Mets pre- and post-game shows and a debate show called "Loudmouths" on SNY. In addition, Carlin hosted a TV special on SNY, "Scandal in Sayreville," an investigative look at the bullying scandal in Sayreville, NJ. He's also the voice for Rutgers football, which he has done since 2004 and has called games for ESPN Radio.
Canty also moved to ESPN's national lineup from the network's New York station. He has been co-hosting the ESPN Radio afternoon slot since September, 2021. Prior to that, Canty appeared on DiPietro, Canty & Rothenberg in New York, where they were multiple-time winners of the New York State Broadcasters Association's Outstanding Radio Show award. Canty is a Super Bowl Champion who spent 11 years in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens (2013-15), Giants (2009-12) and Dallas Cowboys (2005-08).
