WFAN’s Craig Carton landed a deal to host an FS1 morning show back in May. Details were scarce beyond an anticipated fall launch and assurances Carton would stay put in afternoon drive. And they remain so. But we now know of a failed plan for the program.
Fox wanted to pair ex-Jets lineman and current ESPN NFL analyst Damien Woody with Carton, according to The Post’s Andrew Marchand. But ESPN blocked the move.
From The Post:
Woody has one-year remaining on his ESPN contract, which allowed the network to block the move.
