Calling All New Yorkers: You Wanna Hear Sports Talk? We Got You Covered (Unless You're Stuck in an Elevator)
Let's face it, folks, New York is a city that never sleeps. But let's be honest, even the most die-hard New Yorker needs a break from the honking taxis and the neverending stream of pigeons (no offense to our fine feathered friends). So, when you crave the dulcet tones of sports radio informing you that the Knicks probably won't win the championship again this year (but hey, there's always hope!), what are your options? Fear not, weary sports fan, for this guide will illuminate your path to ESPN Radio nirvana!
Tuning in to the Game: Classic Radio Dial Twisting
For the traditionalists out there, there's nothing quite like the thrill of the physical radio knob. In the Big Apple, that trusty dial needs to be set to 98.7 FM, the home of ESPN New York (WEPN-FM). Blast the volume, yell at the radio when your team makes a boneheaded play (we've all been there), and feel the joy of analog sports commentary.
Pro-Tip: If you're venturing out of the five boroughs, be sure to check the ESPN Radio website for affiliate stations. You wouldn't want to miss Stephen A. Smith's latest rant while stuck on the Long Island Expressway, would you?
