Anyone that works in the sports media industry knows the history and reputation of WFAN. When the last of the original hosts from the original sports radio station announces his impending retirement, his colleagues will stand up and take notice.
Steve Somers may have said that he doesn’t want any tributes or farewell parties in his honor, but plenty in the sports media took to Twitter to celebrate the WFAN host after he announced he would be stepping away from the station “more sooner rather than later.”
Andrew Marchand of The New York Post reports that Somers’s exit will come sometime this fall.
Steve Somers may be in for another surprise. Neil Best of Newsday reports that while Somers may not want a farewell tour, Audacy VP and Market Manager Chris Oliviero is going to treat getting Somers to accept some kind of recognition as a “personal challenge.”
