The New York Giants and Sports WFAN have announced an extension of their long-standing broadcast partnership. Under the new agreement, WFAN will remain the flagship station for Giants football, continuing to air every pre-season, regular season, and post-season game on 101.9 FM, 66AM, and the Audacy app.

The renewed deal also brings expanded year-round programming for Giants fans. The team will produce monthly content and continue its weekly in-season show, Big Blue Kickoff Live, which will air Saturday mornings from 7-8am ET on WFAN and Audacy. Hosted by Giants.com's John Schmeelk and WFAN/PIX anchor Marc Malusis, the show will include player interviews and live fan interaction.

WFAN will help kick off the 2025 season with a full day of programming from Giants Training Camp at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on July 31. Morning show Boomer & Gio will broadcast live at 6am ET, followed by Evan & Tiki at 2pm ET, featuring interviews with players, coaches, and executives.

As part of the new season lineup, former Giants running back and WFAN host Tiki Barber will take on an expanded role, joining Schmeelk as the pre-game and post-game co-host for all Giants broadcasts. Barber joins a veteran game-day crew that includes Bob Papa, Carl Banks, and Howard Cross.

"I am really excited to be joining the Giants gameday radio broadcast team on WFAN," said Barber. "The Giants have a long history of legendary broadcasters, and I look forward to providing analysis and insight that Giants fans appreciate."

Audacy's New York Market President Chris Oliviero highlighted the synergy between the two brands. "WFAN and the New York Giants are two of the most successful sports brands in the tri-state area," said Oliviero. "More programming, exclusive experiences and of course Tiki, will make the seasons ahead all the more special."

WFAN will also host ticket giveaways throughout the season. Fans can listen to WFAN locally in New York or nationwide via the Audacy app and connect through social platforms including X, Facebook, and Instagram.
