THE QUEENS NEW YORKER EPISODE 220: THE HISTORY OF WEPN 1050 AM PART 2

The first voice heard on WFAN was that of Suzyn Waldman with a sports update at 3:00 pm,[11] followed by the first show, which was hosted by Jim Lampley. Waldman would report for the station, covering the Yankees and Knicks, for 14 years. Other personalities that hosted shows besides Lampley in the 1050 kHz years included Bill Mazer, Pete Franklin, Greg Gumbel and Ed Coleman. WFAN also inherited broadcast rights to the defending World Series champion New York Mets from WHN, who had held the rights for several years. Ratings were low initially but gradually improved.
