Report: Cowherd To Bump Francesa Off Fox Sports 1

Mike Francesa
Mike Francesa will be moving to a new simulcast home.

The NY Daily News reports Francesa’s WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM drive-time show, currently simulcast on Fox Sports 1, will move to FS2 in order to make room for Colin Cowherd’s new Fox Sports Radio simulcast soiree on FS1.

The switch will be made on Tuesday, Sept. 8, when Cowherd, who recently confirmed his move to Fox, debuts his new radio show.

Cowherd’s show will air from noon to 3 p.m. EDT. Clearly, it made no sense to move Francesa’s show from FS2 back to FS1 for the final three hours of his show.

Considering his well-documented dissatisfaction with having his FS1 simulcast preempted by other Fox sports programming, Francesa will not be thrilled about being permanently bumped to FS2 to accommodate Cowherd, who is joining the Foxies after a lengthy tenure at ESPN.

Francesa is on vacation this week.
