UPDATE: Mike Francesa WILL Return To WFAN In 3PM-7PM Time Slot

NY Daily News – Unless there is a last minute snag in the negotiations, Mike (Sports Pope) Francesa will soon return to WFAN, the Daily News has learned.

Francesa will be back in the 3 p.m.-7 p.m. slot, according to well-embedded Hudson Street (FAN Headquarters) rats. The sources said the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. slot will be divided between Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts, currently FAN’s 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. team, and CMB, aka Chris Carlin, Maggie Gray and Bart Scott, who replaced Francesa earlier this year.

Holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy holy shit. Is this the biggest power move of all-time? Just one hour ago, I’m talking about the possibility of Mike returning to WFAN. Now, he is officially coming back. What a world we live in. Thankfully, CMB will get to keep their jobs and will go to the mid-afternoon slot, where they should have been in the first place. It’s hard not to feel bad for them because they were put into an impossible situation.

The lineup will probably be: Boomer and Gio 6-10am, Joe & Evan 10-1pm, CMB 1pm-3pm, Mike 3pm-7pm. That’s actually a pretty solid lineup.

I need more time to digest this news but for now, Zaun is coming home.
