NY Baseball Fans: Mets leaving WFAN after season, Yanks could replace them

[Rev]

The Yankees and CBS Radio are close to a deal that would put the Yankees on WFAN starting in 2014, according to Newsday’s Neil Best.

Update – 12:09 p.m.: Jeff Wilpon confirmed to reporters that the reports of the Mets leaving WFAN are “fairly accurate” and the team is in negotiations with several other networks, which should be resolved in six weeks

“The arrangement would bump the Mets off the station that has carried their games since WFAN’s inception in 1987,” he adds.

Best lists ESPN Radio and WOR as possible landing spots for Mets radio telecasts.

As weird as it sounds that hurts wfan and shows like Francessa because theyre so baseball centric..They already had the Yankee manager and players on weekly anyway so them being on the station doesnt change anytigng but if they go to rival espn thats big..

Remember...the FAN might be getting the Yankees. CBS will not end up without the Yankees now that they've lost the Mets, i think.

The funny thing is that a lot of the FAN's hosts are Mets fans & you can tell how much they dislike the Yankees. They gonna have to eat it now.

I read that WFAN was actually losing money from Mets broadcasts, so maybe it won't hurt them as bad as we think. Still a sad day as a Mets fan, they've been on WFAN my entire life.

Yankees on verge of signing most lucrative radio deal in baseball with WFAN. 10 years between $15-$20 million per.

I remember the Mets being on WHN before it went to all sports and became WFAN. I used to listen to Bob Murphy calling the games on the radio.
