Boomer Esiason: I Knew New WFAN Lineup 3 Months Ago

WFAN made all of its lineup changes official on Tuesday. While there had been several leaks over the previous few days, most listeners learned what the station would be doing in afternoons and middays following Craig Carton’s departure. Boomer Esiason isn’t most listeners though.

On Wednesday morning, he acknowledged that he missed the official announcement. After initially playing coy, he admitted that he didn’t need to wait to know what was happening.

“I knew what it was three months ago,” he said as Gregg Giannotti read off the new lineup.

Tiki Barber will move from middays into afternoon drive alongside Evan Roberts. Sal Licata will be upped from the overnight slot to join Brandon Tierney in middays. Chris McMonigle will take over overnights.

“A lot of people were bumped up,” Gio said. “A lot of internal people were bumped up. So that’s good for morale, as they say.”

The new afternoon show will be called Evan & Tiki. Esiason admits that is information he did not have previously. He says that happened because of comments Giannotti made on air last week.

“You made that like a thing. You just made it a thing like ‘Evan deserves top billing!’ I mean, you guys, I don’t get it sometimes”.

Esiason reiterated his belief that any host with their name in the title of the show is on equal footing.
