You Wanna Hear the Hot Takes? How to Tune into WFAN in the Big Apple
Ah, New York City. The city that never sleeps... unless you're catching some Zzz's while glued to your radio listening to WFAN, the heart and soul of New York sports radio. Here's the lowdown on how to snag those steamy sports takes, no matter if you're a native New Yorker or just visiting the concrete jungle where dreams are made of (and sports arguments get heated).
Dialing Up the Fanatics: Traditional Radio
For the purists out there, there's nothing quite like the crackle and pop of a good old-fashioned radio. So, crank up the volume and tune in to:
- 66 AM: The OG frequency, where WFAN has been serving up sports talk since the dawn of time (well, 1987).
- 101.9 FM: The younger, hipper sibling for those who prefer their sports radio in glorious FM stereo.
Cutting the Cord? Streaming WFAN to the Rescue!
Maybe you're rocking a fancy internet-connected fridge and a traditional radio just seems...quaint. No worries, fellow New Yorker! Here's how to listen to WFAN like a digital native:
- Radio.com: The official WFAN app, letting you stream the station live and catch up on past shows (because sometimes you just gotta re-listen to Boomer getting roasted by callers). There are even bonus features, like exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content (because who doesn't want a peek behind the sports-talk curtain?). Download it, it's free!
- Audacy and TuneIn: Other popular radio streaming services that let you add WFAN to your favorites list.
Bonus Round: Catching WFAN on Other Devices
Let's face it, New York is a busy city. You might be on the go, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on your WFAN fix. Here are some additional ways to snag your sports fix:
- Smart speakers: Got a fancy Google Home or Alexa? Just say the magic words, "Hey Google, play WFAN" or "Alexa, play WFAN," and you're good to go.
- Apple Music: Believe it or not, you can find a dedicated WFAN radio station on Apple Music. Who knew?
