Mike Francesa's House

Mike Francesca, the radio talk show host, and television commentator, lives here. He is primarily known in his former role co-hosting the popular "Mike and the Mad Dog" which he launched together with Chris Russo, in 1989 on WFAN in New York City. This show quickly became one of the most successful sports-talk radio programs in American history. He now hosts his own show, "Mike'd Up: Francesa on the FAN", during the afternoon drive slot formerly occupied by "Mike and the Mad Dog".

On December 15, 2017, Francesa retired from his own show, Mike's On: Francesa on the FAN and was succeeded by Chris Carlin, Maggie Gray and Bart Scott in the same time slot for the first ratings book of 2018. On April 27, 2018, WFAN announced that Francesa would return to the station for a ​3 1⁄2-hour afternoon show, a shorter shift than his original slot. Francesa hosted this shortened afternoon drive WFAN slot in a tumultuous tenure through the end of 2019 before he retired for a second time, moving to a half-hour evening slot on WFAN while also producing content for Radio.com platform, which began in January 2020.
