Mike Francesa fans will soon get to hear him for an extra half hour on WFAN.
Effective May 26, Francesa — who had been on from 6-6:30 p.m. weekdays — will now be on from 6-7 p.m., and Jerry Recco and Al Dukes will be on from 5-6 a.m., an extra 20 minutes, according to a Tuesday Newsday report.
The schedule is just for June and the station’s hope is that it will be adjusted when live sports returns.
The night time lineup also was shuffled, according to the report. John Jastremski will be on from 7-11 p.m., Steve Somers from 11 p.m.-3 a.m. and Amy Lawrence from 3-5 a.m.
The 6 a.m.-6 p.m. daily lineup schedule — which includes the “Boomer and Gio,” “Moose & Maggie” and “Joe & Evan” shows — will remain unchanged.
Mark Chernoff, senior vice president for Entercom New York, the parent company of WFAN, said the schedule tweaks were made to give listeners more of their familiar voices during the coronavirus pandemic, which has put a halt to most live sports.
“By extending the programming time of our trusted hosts, we aim to provide fans with more of the compelling sports and entertainment content they want as they navigate the changes and await the return of live events,” Chernoff said in a statement.
