Andrew Marchand of the New York Post is reporting that the New York Mets are closing in on a deal to air their games on 880 WCBS AM next season and for the foreseeable future. The deal is not official yet.
The team’s current radio home 710 WOR has tried to retain the Mets, but to no avail. It’s also not known what this means for play-by-play announcers Howie Rose and Josh Lewin , but both are expected to make the move to WCBS.
Marchand also raises an interesting point:
“The move could also have an impact on WFAN’s programs. When the Mets moved from WFAN to WOR in 2014, the team forbid any of its personnel from going on WFAN’s shows.”
Entercom owns both WCBS and WFAN.
