Mike Francesa Signs Off From Final Afternoon Drive Show

Mike Francesa "signed off from afternoon drive time on WFAN on Friday after 30 years in that role." Francesa said, "It's gone too fast, but it's been an incredible, incredible run, and I thank you all very much, and I'll see you soon." Francesa on Jan. 6 is "scheduled to begin appearing regularly on Radio.com," as well as on a weekday 6:00-6:30pm ET show on WFAN. Francesa said that the WFAN show will be "heard live the vast majority of the time, but he did not announce a format." He also said that his first scheduled Radio.com show will be on Jan. 4, to "preview the NFL playoffs." For his last afternoon drive show, Francesa had "only one guest ... his close friend Jim Nantz of CBS, and otherwise took calls and thanked listeners and colleagues." Francesa: "Life moves on. It's time to let the next generation come in and do some stuff" (NEWSDAY, 12/7).
