Following the demise of 880 WCBS, Audacy has announced that Rutgers University basketball broadcasts will move to Sports 660 WFAN/101.9 WFAN-FM New York.
WFAN, which is already the home to Rutgers football games, will carry to majority of Rutgers basketball games on the 660 signal with select games also airing on 101.9. WFAN also carries play-by-play of MLB’s New York Yankees, NFL’s New York Giants, NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, and NHL’s New Jersey Devils. Jerry Recco, sports update anchor on WFAN’s “Boomer & Gio” morning show, will be starting his ninth season as play-by-play voice for Rutgers games and hosts an in-season podcast with head coach Steve Pikiell.
“Audacy and Rutgers have developed a strong partnership which now goes to a whole new level with basketball joining football on the Tri-State’s premiere sports platform, WFAN,” said Chris Oliviero, Market President, Audacy New York. “A strong recruiting class has the fan base excited for this basketball season as WFAN’s own Jerry Recco chronicles the journey from start to finish.”
“We are thrilled that WFAN 660 is the new home of Rutgers men’s basketball,” head coach Steve Pikiell said. “There is no better sports radio station in the country, and we’re excited to partner ahead of one of the most exciting seasons in Rutgers basketball history.”
