New York's WFAN radio station, located at 660 on the AM dial, was launched on July 1, 1987, billing itself as the world's first twenty-four-hour-per-day sports talk station.

Over the years, WFAN has been the broadcast home to several big names in the world of radio, including the sports-talk team of Mike and the Mad Dog ( Mike Francesa and Chris Russo) and the political commentator Don Imus, whose program is now nationally syndicated.

How the day goes on "The FAN"?

The day begins at 6:00 am, with Imus in the Morning with Don Imus who gave out political opinions to all the listeners across the country.The Imus in the Morning show is now syndicated to over 90 stations across the United States with an audience in excess of 10 million. It has become a regular stop on the circuit for Washington insiders, the liberal media elite, best-selling authors and the occasional presidential candidate. In September of 1996, MSNBC, the cable/Internet venture of Microsoft and NBC, began a simulcast of the Imus in the Morning show for their own morning programming.

The rest of the day was devoted to the world of sports-talk and/or sports play-by-play at 10:00 am on the weekdays (sports talk runs through the whole entire weekend). At 10:00 am, until 1:00 pm, "Mac and Sid" ( Jody McDonald and Sid Rosenberg ) began the day of talk in sports, followed bt the five-and-a-half hour "Mike and the Mad Dog show" hosted by Mike Francesa and Chris Russo.
