Sports Radio WFAN in New York has reached a new multi-year agreement with the New York Giants, extending the station's exclusive flagship radio station rights to broadcast preseason, regular season, and any postseason games. Financial details and length of the extension were not disclosed. CBS New York Market Manager Don Bouloukos said, "We are proud to continue our partnership with the New York Giants, the city's premier football franchise. Our tri-state area listeners are fans of the team, and they know they can count on WFAN for unparalleled coverage, access to players and coaches, and insight they can't hear anywhere else." WFAN has been the flagship station of the Giants since 1997.
In addition, WFAN will also continue to be home of the Giants in-depth pre- and post-game coverage for all contests broadcast on the station. Additional elements of the agreement include:
-- A weekly 30-minute Giants-themed segment as part of the station's Monday Night Football coverage, presenting the latest news, game reviews/previews, and a one-on-one interview with a featured player (broadcast time TBD);
-- Giants Power Lunch -- the new one-hour live program will be broadcast one Tuesday a month during the regular season from the Giants Training Facility in East Rutherford, N.J. within the "Benigno and Roberts" show. The program airs weekdays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET;
-- Exclusive weekly player interviews with Eli Manning and other Giants player(s) to be named prior to the start of the 2013 season;
