WFAN midday host Brandon Tierney confirmed on X on Wednesday that his show with Sal Licata is ending in the wake of Craig Carton's return to the station.
“Welp, the industry’s worst kept secret is official: 'BT and Sal' is quickly coming to an end on WFAN,” Tierney posted. “We’ll finish the ride the same way we started: with unmatched passion and energy for NY sports. It’s who we are. Been a ride, an honor…finish strong w/us. Ain’t done yet.”
Licata said on the air on Thursday that the duo's last show will be on Friday.
A spokesman for WFAN declined to comment.
WFAN’s parent company announced Wednesday that Carton will return starting Jan. 5 for his third stint at the station as the host of “The Carton Show” alongside Chris McMonigle from 2-7 p.m.
Current afternoon hosts Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber will move to 10 a.m.-2 p.m. as part of the shuffle.
Anthony Rieber covers baseball, as well as the NFL, NBA and NHL. He has worked at Newsday since Aug. 31, 1998, and has been in his current position since July 5, 2004.
