Esiason

BOOMER ESIASON will not be returning to WESTWOOD ONE's football coverage for the 2018 season, choosing to exit after 18 years calling MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, playoff and SUPER BOWL games. ESIASON continues to co-host mornings at ENTERCOM Sports WFAN-A-F/NEW YORK and serve as analyst on CBS television's "THE NFL TODAY" and SHOWTIME's "INSIDE THE NFL."

“It has been an honor to be a member of the WESTWOOD ONE NFL broadcast team for the last 18 years,” said ESIASON. “I am proud to have delivered the calls for some of the most iconic MONDAY NIGHT and SUPER BOWL moments in the history of the NFL. With my continuing busy schedule during the NFL season, including my daily NYC-based morning drive radio show, ‘THE NFL TODAY’ and ‘INSIDE THE NFL’, I thought the timing was right for me to step away. I would like to thank my broadcast partners in the booth who have made the job enjoyable and fulfilling.  Also, I would like to thank WESTWOOD ONE's senior management and sales force, who, over the years, were instrumental in providing on-air support for the BOOMER ESIASON FOUNDATION.”

“BOOMER has been the constant for a generation of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL listeners, and we can’t thank him enough for his nearly two decades of service to WESTWOOD ONE,” said WESTWOOD ONE SPORTS EVP/Executive Producer HOWARD DENEROFF. “He has been the ultimate professional, a terrific broadcaster, and a great teammate to all of us who have had the good fortune of working with him.”
