WFAN continued to dominate ESPN New York in the just-released winter book, led by its morning show, “Boomer & Gio,” which finished No. 1 overall in the ratings.
Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti were first in the mornings, according to Nielsen Audio, in the male 25-54 demo, which is whom the stations traditionally sell advertising against.
Rick DiPietro and Dave Rothenberg, in its first book from 6-10 a.m. were 13th (12 share for Boomer & Gio to a 3 for DiPietro & Rothenberg).
In the afternoons, which at one time was the most hotly contested battle in New York sports radio, “Carton & Roberts” had their way again with “The Michael Kay Show.” WFAN’s program was third (7.7) in the market, while ESPN’s was 15th (2.9).
During the book, Kay signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar extension, while Craig Carton, who leads the FAN afternoon show, is expected to decide in the coming months if he will leave the station to go full-time with his morning show on FS1.
Carton began the FS1 program in September.
