Mike Francesa has decided to end his Sunday night sports wrapup show, "Mike'd Up," after seven years, a person familiar with his plans said. It is not yet clear what WNBC-TV will do with the time slot. Francesa, whose ratings generally were strong, had cut back drastically on his TV schedule this past season, from 36 weeks to 24 -- only three since the end of the football season -- citing a desire to have more time with his family on weekends. Bruce Beck long has hosted in his absence.
