Craig Carton takes aim at Boomer & Gio with 9 AM start time for 'Carton & Friends'

We reported yesterday more bad news for failing WFAN -- Craig Carton's return will be morning drive.

And now we have the schedule.

Craig and his group of celebrity friends, together with a fresh group of off the wall real-life characters broadcasting from Studio 34 in the heart of Manhattan will be live weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET beginning Thursday March 29th (MLB's Opening Day).

Hey Entercom? That noise you hear at 8:59 AM as you allow Jerry Recco and Al Dukes to have on air time? That's 50% of your Boomer & Gio audience telling Alexa to, "Play "F-N-T-S-Y Sports Radio" as the nation’s former #1 highest rated morning sports talk show host joins forces with FNTSY Sports Radio Network...to reclaim his crown.

Would have preferred a 2 p.m. start but...Boomer Esiason would have too. Here's an exclusive teaser episode of Craig Carton's new 'Carton & Friends' program.
