On Wednesday, the New York Giants and WFAN announced an extension of their play-by-play partnership. As part of that extension, all preseason, regular season, and postseason games will continue to air on WFAN (101.9 FM / 66AM) and the Audacy app.
"Big Blue Kickoff Live," a weekly preview show, will also continue to air throughout the regular season.
Additionally, and perhaps most notably, retired Giants great Tiki Barber will join Giants.com's John Schmeelk as a co-host for all pre- and postgame gameday broadcasts.
"WFAN and The New York Giants are two of the most successful sports brands in the tri-state area, and we're honored to continue this long-standing partnership for the fans of Big Blue," said Chris Oliviero, Chief Business Officer and New York Market President, Audacy. 'More programming, exclusive experiences and of course Tiki, will make the seasons ahead all the more special."
Barber, who has been with WFAN since 2022, is thrilled about the opportunity and will continue as co-host for "Evan & Tiki."
"I am really excited to be joining the Giants gameday radio broadcast team on WFAN. This organization has meant so much to me, professionally and personally," said Barber. "The Giants have a long history of legendary broadcasters and Wellington Mara always told them to call it like they see it because our fans know better. I look forward to providing analysis and insight that Giants fans appreciate."
On the same day as the WFAN announcement, it was revealed that Barber would no longer continue in his role as game analyst for "NFL on CBS," where he had served since 2019.
"Our mission is to provide our fans with the best Giants coverage across all content mediums," said Nilay Shah, Giants SVP, Marketing & Brand Strategy. "The ability to create year-round programming around tentpole NFL events, along with adding Tiki Barber's expertise on gamedays to our already talented roster of former players, is a win for our fans."
WFAN also announced it will be doing Giants ticket giveaways for listeners throughout the year.
