WFAN has announced it will air Rutgers men’s basketball broadcasts for the upcoming 2024-25 season. WFAN had already been the home for Rutgers football and now the two will be together on the same station. The games had been airing on WCBS 880, which is now being run by Good Karma Brands as ESPN New York.
WFAN will run games on 660 AM and on 101.9 FM in “select circumstances.”
“Audacy and Rutgers have developed a strong partnership which now goes to a whole new level with basketball joining football on the Tri-State’s premiere sports platform, WFAN,” said Chris Oliviero, Market President, Audacy New York in a release. “A strong recruiting class has the fan base excited for this basketball season as WFAN’s own Jerry Recco chronicles the journey from start to finish.”
“We are thrilled that WFAN 660 is the new home of Rutgers men’s basketball,” head coach Steve Pikiell said. “There is no better sports radio station in the country, and we’re excited to partner ahead of one of the most exciting seasons in Rutgers basketball history.
WFAN’s Jerry Recco is entering his ninth season on the broadcasts. Recco provides morning sports updates during WFAN’s Boomer & Gio. Recco has been at the station since 1997.
