Comments(1) Radio legend Mike Francesa needs a new dog.
Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo has broken his WFAN leash after nearly 19 years in the studio with Francesa, the station’s director confirmed this evening.
“They mutually agreed to go separate ways,” said Mark Chernoff, the vice president of programming.
“Mike has signed a long-term, multi-year deal. [Chris] is leaving.”
Chernoff said that the show, which was two weeks shy of its 19th anniversary, “had run its course.”
Francesa will host the show alone in the short term.
