Announcement- Mike And Mad Dog Show Is Done
Neil Best of Newsday is reporting that WFAN Radio announced tonight that Chris “Mad Dog” Russo is leaving WFAN. Mike Francesa will do the show on the Mets flagship station by himself for now after the 18 year partnership has ended.
“Mike and Chris pioneered the genre more than 18 years ago and have shaped the sports talk format into what it is today,” WFAN operations director Mark Chernoff said in a statement.
“As we embark on this next step in WFAN’s history, we wish Chris nothing but the best and look forward to all that Mike will do in a role in which he has excelled at for years.”
The report says that Chris Russo is expected to move to Sirius satellite radio.

Neil Best of Newsday is reporting that wildly popular New York sports talk radio show Mike and The Mad Dog may be finished. The reports says that problems between Mike Francesa and Chris Russo may spell the end of the show.
Although neither is a Mets fan, Russo (Giants) and Francesa (Yankees) do plenty of Mets talk on WFAN, the Mets flagship radio station.
When reached for comment on the report Francesa had none and Russo said that he didn’t know anything about it:
“That is news to me,” he said. “I have not heard that… That is fascinating information.”
Personally, I doubt the validity of this. Russo and Francesa have openly talked about some rocky periods in their personal relationship in the past. After losing Don Imus last year, there’s no way that WFAN would let Mike and The Mad Dog get away without a fight.
