Audacy inks a multiyear extension with morning host Boomer Esiason to remain at WFAN-FM & AM in New York. He'll continue to be heard on "Boomer & Gio" alongside co-host Gregg "Gio" Giannotti, weekdays from 6-10am ET. This new extension will bring Esiason past 20 years as morning host at WFAN, making him the longest-tenured morning host in the station's history, surpassing Don Imus.

"Boomer has become a true cornerstone in the long, storied history of WFAN," said Audacy New York Market President Chris Oliviero. "He was already the highest-rated morning show in the FAN record books, and now, with this new extension, he will add longest-running to his accolades. And most excitedly, we are certain the best is still yet to come as Boomer begins this new chapter in his career by making a long-term commitment to the FAN, along with a creative vision for elevating the brand together to new heights."

"For the last 17 years, it has been an honor to be the voice that New York sports fans wake up to," added Esiason. "I could not be more excited to continue delivering four hours of entertaining conversation at the most vibrant and storied sports radio station in the country, working alongside the morning crew. I would like to thank Audacy, Chris Oliviero, and, most importantly, our passionate listeners for the opportunity to continue on this incredible ride."

Esiason joined WFAN in 2007 and co-hosted "Boomer & Carton" until 2017 and "Boomer & Gio" since 2018. Esiason also anchors the "Audacy Sports Minute" heard nationwide on the company's sports brands and across the Infinity Sports Network and co-hosts "Kick-Off with Boomer & Valenti," a syndicated NFL preview program. "Boomer & Gio" is also currently simulcast on The CBS Sports Network.
