Something that definitely resonates with national sports fans is college football and Carlin will have no problem checking that box. “I think that hopefully is going to resonate with the fans.” “Chris and I are two guys that are extremely passionate but don’t take ourselves too seriously,” said Carlin. “It’s definitely a different type of sports radio but it’s still something where it’s just a medium for me where you can really have fun, you can make people think and hopefully, you connect with them.”Īnd teamed with Canty, Carlin believes the listeners will enjoy the product.
“You have to make it as engaging and smart and give people the angles on the big stories of the day that they haven’t necessarily thought of,” said Carlin, a two-time winner of the New Jersey Sportscaster of the Year Award. The daily conversation won’t just be about how Yankees manager Aaron Boone is handling his lineup and bullpen, who the Jets are going to take with picks 4 and 10 in the NFL Draft and what direction the Knicks are going to take in the off-season.Īs a network host, Carlin will have to appeal to everybody around the country and have his finger on the pulse of national storylines. It’s one thing to host a daily sports-talk show in New York for a local audience, but it’s another thing to then entertain a national audience with a greater scope of topics. The folks up in Bristol agreed so I was really excited when they offered me the job and I’m thrilled to be working with him. I kind of felt like the first few times that we did shows together solo that there was something there. “He’s just incredibly smart and engaging and gets what sports talk radio is all about,” said Carlin.
Right from the get-go, Carlin could sense that it could eventually be a full-time partnership.Īnd he was right because in his mind, Canty “gets it” when it comes to great radio. It was at ESPN New York 98.7 where Carlin and Canty initially had the chance to work together a little bit. He’s been the local evening host on ESPN Radio’s New York affiliate since 2019 and before that, he was a host on WFAN Radio in New York, a host and anchor for Sports Net New York and also made a brief stop as a sports talk show host at WIP in Philadelphia. All joking aside, Carlin is very much looking forward to this new opportunity on a national stage.
