I don't know how many are listeners so NY sports radio station, WFAN.....but it was my morning go-to.

And it was Carton, not Boomer!!!

The show deflated when Carton was sent to jail.....but it looks like he'll be back.

"Craig Carton released early from prison with a WFAN return realistic

Former WFAN radio host Craig Carton was released from federal prison on Tuesday morning, The Post has learned.

Carton, 51, will either enter home confinement or a halfway house to finish out his sentence, according to sources.

Carton’s release is unrelated to COVID-19. Carton went to prison on June 17, 2019, so he served a little more than a year. He was let out early from his 3½-year prison sentence for a ticket scam due to completing a number of programs offered by the federal penitentiary.

Carton may have a path back to WFAN as Chris Oliviero, his former producer, now heads up Entercom’s New York stations.

It is believed that when Oliviero agreed to return to the company, he asked if he would be able to re-hire Carton at FAN. He was told he would be allowed to if he saw fit, according to sources. It is not a done deal and it is not exactly clear when Carton would be able to return to FAN, but with his release, there is a belief that a return to FAN could very well happen."

“Carton uses radio wars as fuel for content, he always has and everyone at WFAN knows it, with many of them previously getting a front row seat to watch it.”
