It’s official: the “Sports Pope” is set to reclaim his throne.
Mike Francesa will return to the mic at WFAN in New York City four months after capping a seemingly endless “retirement” sendoff, the station’s owner, Entercom, announced on Friday. The sports talk legend will be back in the hot seat on Tuesday, with his show airing from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on WFAN 101.9 FM/660 AM.
As part of the new partnership between Francesa and WFAN, the station will launch an app — “Mike’s On” — that carries exclusive content, including the host’s Sunday football show during the fall.
