Francesa’s contract with WFAN’s parent company Audacy expires imminently, at the end of 2021, and he is surveying the landscape for if he has a next move in broadcasting., and said he is looking to the future, not the past — which means he has ruled out a return to WFAN.
“I have no interest in going backward,” he said. “My time at the FAN is done. My story at WFAN is written. That wouldn’t interest me . . . I’d like to see the people there get opportunities.”“From a FAN standpoint, to me, the book is closed,” Francesa said. “But that doesn’t mean I still don’t feel like broadcasting. I’ve missed the audience. I’ve missed the buzz. I’ve missed some of that. It’s just logical.
Therefore, Francesa is interested in opportunities “that would be fun or gives me a chance to have a new experience … Maybe I’ll surprise somebody and do something that would surprise me.” Francesa did not sound like he felt a weekly reunion hour with his longtime former partner Chris “Mad Dog” Russo was in the cards, but also did not rule it out.“Nothing’s been discussed,” Francesa said. “I would say right now, probably not. I think he’s got a pretty full schedule. He hasn’t offered that. He’s the one who has a show. I don’t. I don’t know if I would do something like that. I don’t say ‘no;’ automatically. I don’t know if it would make sense.
Cant wait the sports talk scene in NYC is horrendous now.
