While he awaits trial on federal charges of running a Ponzi scheme, CRAIG CARTON is taking his streaming audio/video show "CARTON & FRIENDS" into radio syndication via FOCUS 360 and the SPORTS BYLINE USA NETWORK.  The daily show, produced by SPORTSGRID, INC.'s FNTSY SPORTS RADIO NETWORK, will be available live weekdays 9a-noon (ET) starting MAY 29th and is produced in front of a live audience from ROCK & REILLY'S opposite MADISON SQUARE GARDEN in NEW YORK.

“We’re delighted to bring CRAIG CARTON back to broadcast radio and be on his team,” said FOCUS 360 CEO PHIL BROWN. “CRAIG is a proven ratings winner with a huge fan base. This is a great opportunity for sports radio stations and for advertisers who want to reach an engaged audience. Welcome back, CRAIG CARTON!”

SPORTSGRID President LOUIS M. MALONE said, “CRAIG is truly one of the great communicators. Adding the convenience of broadcast radio in local markets throughout the country is the final piece to our broad distribution strategy. FOCUS 360 and SPORTS BYLINE USA are the perfect partners for reintroducing CRAIG to broadcast radio and taking CARTON & FRIENDS nationally into local markets.”

“We have always been committed to delivering quality sports programming to fans around the country and around the world,” said SPORTS BYLINE USA President DARREN PECK. “We couldn’t be happier about offering our affiliates and platforms Craig Carton and his unique brand of sports radio.”

CARTON left WFAN-A-F/NEW YORK last SEPTEMBER after being indicted on federal wire fraud, securities fraud, and conspiracy charges stemming from a ticket-selling business; he has denied the charges and awaits trial later this year.  He has been doing the show for FNTSY as a streaming video and audio show and podcast since MARCH.
