LaGreca Inks Extension

The station has also signed afternoon "THE MICHAEL KAY SHOW" co-host DON LAGRECA to a three-year extension.

“Being the first voice of 98.7 ESPN radio, it became hard to imagine working anywhere else,” said LAGRECA. “I think MICHAEL KAY and I have built something special. He's the best in the business, and I can't wait for what the future brings.”

“DON has established himself as one of the most knowledgeable hosts in all of NEW YORK sports,” said GM TIM MCCARTHY. “He is a rare breed who can combine talk and play-by-play without missing a beat. DON and MICHAEL are one of the longest-tenured and most entertaining sports talk teams in the country.”
