As John Sterling continues to lessen his workload as radio voice of the New York Yankees, additional opportunities have arisen for Justin Shackil and Emmanuel Berbari.
Sterling plans to call around 112 of the 162 games for the Bronx Bombers in 2024. Shackil and Berbari will each call 25 games for the Yankees on flagship WFAN.
Both announcers have past history with the club and its flagship station. Shackil joined WFAN on the Yankees beat last year after the departure of Sweeny Murti. In addition to his work with the club’s radio broadcasts, Shackil also served as the TV sideline reporter for roughly 40 games in 2023.
Berbari has served as an overnight host in a fill-in capacity at WFAN as well as the pre and postgame host for Yankees broadcasts after Murti’s departure.
The news was first reported by The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.
