CBS SPORTS NETWORK TO TELEVISE WFAN'S TOP RATED MORNING SHOW BOOMER & CARTON Published on: 12/02/2013 | All 2013 Press Releases
Boomer & Carton to Debut January 2014 on CBS Sports Network
CBS announced today that beginning January 2014 CBS Sports Network will simulcast Boomer & Carton, the popular morning show broadcast on CBS RADIO's WFAN-AM/FM. Combining these two powerful assets within CBS will result in national exposure for the local radio program and premier weekday content for the 24-hour cable home of CBS Sports. The four-hour morning show is hosted by NFL ON CBS studio analyst Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton live Monday-Friday from 6:00-10:00 AM, ET.
Boomer & Carton debuted on Sept. 4, 2007, and features local sports talk, news headlines, and interviews with current and former sports icons, league personnel, and a variety of national celebrities from the entertainment and music industries. The show originates from CBS RADIO's WFAN studio in New York City.
The addition of the Boomer and Carton show significantly enhances our on-air line-up adding hours of live and relevant programming to CBS Sports Network each morning, said Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports. It is great to be able to welcome one of the nation's top sports talk radio shows to the Networks of CBS Sports.
Boomer and Carton have created one of the industry's best sports talk programs that captures all the drama and excitement of New York sports, said Dan Mason, President and CEO, CBS RADIO. Together we look forward to presenting the show to the CBS Sports Network audience of enthusiastic sports fans.
CBS Sports Network is available across the country to more than 99 million homes through local cable, video and telco providers and via satellite on DIRECTV Channel 221 and DISH Network Channel 158. The Network is widely available throughout the New York metropolitan area on Time Warner Cable channel 457 (SD) and 467 (HD); Cablevision channel 143 or 412 (SD) and 793 (HD); Comcast channel 183 or 274 or 732 (SD) and 854 or 1721 (HD); Verizon FiOS channel 94; AT&T U-Verse channel 643 (SD) and 1643 (HD); RCN channel 380 (SD) and 575 (HD); Mediacom channel 171 (SD) and 762 (HD); Service Electric TV channel 114 or 176 (SD) and 614 or 676 (HD); and Blue Ridge Cable TV channel 204 (SD) and 629 (HD). For more information, including a full programming schedule, go to www.cbssportsnetwork.com.
Esiason, who quarterbacked the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals during a 14-year NFL career, joined CBS Sports in February 2002 as a studio analyst for THE NFL TODAY, the CBS Television Networks NFL pre-game show. In addition to hosting WFAN-AM/FM New York's morning program, Esiason can be heard providing commentary on CBS Sports Radio as part of the network's CBS Sports Minute feature, and calls Monday Night Football, Playoff and Super Bowl broadcasts for WestwoodOne.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1988 and awarded the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 1995 for his philanthropic work. He has raised in excess of $100 million for the Boomer Esiason Foundation to fight cystic fibrosis since 1993, when his son was diagnosed with the disease.
Radio veteran Carton, who interned at WFAN during college, has spent more than 20 years in the broadcast industry working for various stations around the country, including notable stops in Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Denver, New York and New Jersey, before coming full-circle and returning to his hometown to co-host WFAN's morning show.
During the course of his seasoned radio career he has been recognized by numerous publications including the National Association of Broadcasters, Cynopsis, Philadelphia magazine and Talkers, as well as ranking on Politicsnj.com's Power List of New Jersey's most politically influential personalities, during his time hosting afternoons at NJ 101.5. Carton serves as the voice of the passionate New York sports fan, while providing comic relief, and getting behind some of the biggest sports stories in the tri-state area. In 2013, he released his first book, Loudmouth.
