The New York radio scene is about to undergo a drastic change.
After nearly 60 years, WCBS Newsradio 880 AM will come to an end as its parent company Audacy has reached a deal to license the frequency to Good Karma Brands’ ESPN New York, the companies announced on Monday. ESPN New York is moving to 880 AM in a bombshell agreement between Good Karma Brands and WFAN ’s parent company Audacy.The news is particularly noteworthy given that Audacy and Good Karma are competitors.
This was especially the case when “The Michael Kay Show” and Mike Francesa were vying in the afternoon drive ratings battle. “New York has always been proudly unique in supporting two all-news radio brands, but the news business has gone through significant changes,” Audacy’s New York market president Chris Oliviero said in a statement.
