In a column for the Daily News, Bob Raissman notes that the Mets and WFAN are in the last year of their contract, and no serious negotiations have taken place.
He writes that the current deal nets the Mets about $8 million per year, while the Yankees currently get $13 million for their deal with CBS Radio. According to Raissman, the Mets will try and close that price gap on the Yankees, while also noting that if the Mets were to leave WFAN, the Yankees would have the option of leaving CBS for WFAN.
I guess for me, I can’t imagine tuning my dial to anywhere but 660 WFAN.
Oh, and in the article Raissman attempts to bash Matt Cerrone from Mets Blog, essentially calling Mets Blog a sellout and writing that the readers are now, “livin’ in a corporate world.” Don’t buy it, I have to imagine that Raissman is just a bitter writer jealous of Matt’s success.
