19-Year On-Air Partnership Ends for 'Mike and the Mad Dog'

Sports-formatted WFAN/New York has lost one of its longtime personalities. According to a story by James Callan at bloomberg.com: "Chris Russo, co-host of the 'Mike and the Mad Dog' sports-radio program on WFAN in New York, left the show after almost 19 years."

Co-host, Mike Francesa, will continue to anchor the show by himself.

Reports indicate Francesa has various options including a jump to Sirius XM Radio for a multi-million dollar deal.

Francesa did the show solo Friday afternoon and during the first hour featured a call from Russo because "...Francesa wanted to give Russo the chance to say goodbye to fans," according to Neil Best at newsday.com.
