New Jersey governor Chris Christie will not be replacing Mike Francesa in the WFAN booth.
The New York Daily News reported Saturday that WFAN had taken Christie out of the mix for a job vacancy that would have begun when longtime host Mike Francesa stepped down at the end of the year. Christie denied the legitimacy of that report, and then said Sunday that he declined an approach by WFAN.
Christie has been a regular fill-in for the New York-based station in the past and was known as one of the station’s potential candidates to replace Francesa.
