Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

The Yankee Reportedly are Signing with WFAN in 2014

Neil Best in Newsday reports that the Yankees are on the verge of signing a radio deal with WFAN. This will end a long tradition of the Mets being on WFAN. Back on July 1, 1987 on 1050 AM WHN became WFAN. In October 1988 WFAN moved to 660 on the dial. Earlier this year WFAN took over 101.9 FM. So a 26 year tradition will come to an end.

The question is what radio station will carry the Mets. It could be ESPN 98.7 or WOR. I would not rule out the Mets moving to WCBS 880. We will just have to wait to find out.
