A popular New York radio personality is returning to his local roots.
Chris Carlin will reunite with Bart Scott as part of ESPN New York’s revamped lineup in 2025, the network announced Wednesday.
Carlin previously hosted with Scott and Maggie Gray on WFAN as Mike Francesa’s replacement in afternoon drive, with the trio later working together in middays after Francesa returned to the station.
Carlin and Scott also worked together a decent amount on the national ESPN Radio network over the past several years, though the pairing was never officially formalized.
The two will now work together in the 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. time slot, largely replacing Mike Greenberg’s national show, which had been airing from 10 a.m. until noon.
Carlin has always delivered a strong show, whether it was in New York, Philadelphia or nationally on ESPN Radio.
He got his first break in the business while producing the iconic “Mike and the Mad Dog” afternoon drive program on WFAN.
He had most recently been hosting on ESPN Radio with Joe Fortenbaugh.
Scott had been hosting with Alan Hahn, who is now moving to afternoon drive to work with Don La Greca and Peter Rosenberg as Michael Kay embarks on hosting a solo show from 1-3 p.m.
