WFAN will continue as the radio home of the Knicks and Rangers, through 2005.
In a five-year deal announced yesterday, Cablevision-owned MSG will buy the air time from FAN. The productions, ad sales and announcer assignments will be in the hands of MSG. FAN’s previous contract to carry Knick and Ranger games expires at the end of this sea106 . 0000.00son.
With Ranger telecasts now being lost to hundreds of thousands of cable subscribers whose systems don’t carry Cablevision-owned Metro (recently designated as MSG/FSNY’s new conflict-date channel), radio has a renewed importance to local hockey fans.
