With the upcoming departure of Craig Carton from afternoons to focus on his FS1 morning television show, Audacy Sports 660 WFAN/101.9 WFAN-FM New York will make changes to its midday, afternoon, and overnight shows.
Former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber will move from the 10am-2pm show he has co-hosted with Brandon Tierney since the start of 2022 to afternoons alongside Evan Roberts. Barber and Tierney previously co-hosted in multiple dayparts on CBS Sports Radio from its launch in January 2013 until moving to WFAN. Barber has also served as a correspondent for NBC Sports and The Today Show and hosted a SiriusXM show with his brother Ronde.
Replacing Barber in middays alongside Tierney is current overnight host Sal Licata. Licata is on his second stint at WFAN. He originally joined the station in 2003 as an intern and later worked as a producer, update anchor, and host. After a brief run at iHeartMedia’s 710 WOR hosting an evening sports show, he returned to WFAN as a part-time host in 2018 before moving to overnights in November 2021. He has also served as a host and commentator on SNY’s SportsNite and Baseball Night in New York since 2010.
Current afternoon show producer Chris McMonigle will move to overnights from 12-5am. McMonigle currently also hosts weekends on the station. Replacing him as producer and on-air contributor to “Evan & Tiki” will be Shaun Morash, who moves to WFAN from CBS Sports Radio where he produced “The D.A. Show” with Damon Amendolara.
