Mar 2, 2009  •  Post A Comment

YES Network, the New York area regional sports network, said it reached a new deal with WFAN-AM radio to simulcast Mike Francesa’s “The NFL Now” live during football season.
YES also renewed its agreement with WFAN to simulcast Mr. Francesa’s weekday show “Mike’D Up: Francesa on the FAN.”
“New Yorkers have tuned in to Mike Francesa for more than 20 years, and we are excited that he will continue to be a valuable part of the YES network,” said John Filippelli, president of production and programming at the YES Network.
“Mike was hugely instrumental in setting the tone for the sports radio genre nationwide, and his influence within the sports arena cannot be understated,” Mr. Filippelli added. “We at YES look forward to introducing new components which will take his shows and our simulcasts to a new level.”
Ratings for Mr. Francesa’s show on YES were up 16.7% for the period from Aug. 18-Feb. 25, compared with the comparable period in 2007-08. In January the show delivered a higher household rating than the market’s other regional sports networks combined, YES said.
