https://i0.wp.com/radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2017/08/wfan.png?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reports (https://nypost.com/2023/06/15/craig-carton-leaving-wfan-for-fox-sports-millions/)that Craig Carton will exit Audacy Sports 660 WFAN/101.9 WFAN-FM (https://www.audacy.com/wfan) New York later this month to move to full-time television on FS1.
Carton made his return to WFAN in October 2020 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/200544/wfan-makes-craig-cartons-return-official/) to co-host afternoons with Evan Roberts. He previously co-hosted ?Boomer & Carton? with Boomer Esiason in mornings from 2007 until his 2017 arrest and subsequent conviction (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/171836/former-wfan-morning-host-craig-carton-found-guilty-of-running-ponzi-scheme/) for running a ponzi scheme. Before joining WFAN, Carton co-hosted afternoons at ?New Jersey 101.5? WKXW Trenton and also worked at WGR Buffalo, WWWE Cleveland, KKFN and KBPI Denver, WIP Philadelphia, and WNEW-FM New York. While awaiting sentencing he briefly hosted on FNTSY Sports Network.
Carton began hosting a morning show for FS1 from 7-9:30am eastern last September and had reportedly been working under an expired contract at Audacy via a handshake areement.
The Post mentions former New York Giants running back and current WFAN midday co-host Tiki Barber and former Entourage star Jerry Ferrera as potential candidates to succeed Carton in afternoons. It also rules out yet another return from Mike Francesa.
