Report: Joe Benigno And Evan Roberts Ticketed For Afternoons At WFAN/New York

Roberts, Benigno

Official word has not been issued, but the NEW YORK POST's ANDREW MARCHAND is reporting that ENTERCOM Sports WFAN-A-F/NEW YORK has chosen midday team JOE BENIGNO and EVAN ROBERTS to move into the afternoon slot vacated by MIKE FRANCESA.

MARCHAND reports that BENIGNO and ROBERTS are "expected to agree to their new contracts by the end of the week" for the 2-6p (ET) weekday slot, with FRANCESA, as the host indicated in his final weeks in afternoon drive, likely to host 6-6:30p weekdays. MARCHAND adds that MAGGIE GRAY, the midday host who formerly hosted with BART SCOTT and CHRIS CARLIN (both departed to crosstown ESPN Sports WEPN-F (ESPN NEW YORK 98.7FM), although SCOTT has remained on the air at WFAN through the duration of his current contract), is headed to middays, with her former CBS SPORTS RADIO co-host MARK MALUSIS and evening host JOHN JASTREMSKI as the leading candidates to be GRAY's co-host.
