Boomer and Carton to be simulcast on MSG
Starting Sept. 14, WFAN's morning show featuring Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton will be simulcast on MSG, the network announced Monday, as first reported in Newsday in June.
WFAN's afternoon show has been simulcast on YES since 2002, but this partnership is a first for MSG. In addition to the live morning show, MSG will telecast compilations of highlights on weeknights and weekends.
"As a kid growing up in New Rochelle there was nothing more amazing than going to Knicks games at Madison Square Garden," Carton said in a news release. "Having the opportunity to partner with MSG now as an adult is just as amazing. Boomer and I look forward to bringing our radio show to MSG Network and allowing all of our listeners to watch what we do while they continue to listen to us on The Fan.''
