When last we left WNEW, the FM talk station had fired its potty mouth PM Drive team and sent its AM Drive jock talker packing. They have now begun to rebuild by making a logical move. Infinity Broadcasting owns both WNEW and WFAN, so why not co-brand the WNEW morning show as a WFAN show, particularly since WFAN doesn't have sports in the morning (opting instead for Don Imus). They have brought in Richard Neer to host this show, and there are several reasons why this works.
- Neer is a throwback to WNEW-FM's classic rock days
- Neer has been with WFAN for 14 years
- Neer is a very intelligent and informed sports talk host and now hosts pre- and post-game shows for New York Giants football games
Good move, WNEW!
