Sal Licata's WFAN warning for Craig Carton after Fox Sports cancelation
WFAN host Sal Licata issued a stern warning to former colleague Craig Carton. Carton recently had his show, 'Breakfast Ball,' canceled by Fox Sports and The Athletic reported that a WFAN return could be in the offing for the 56-year-old. 'And by the way, I'm not worried about Craigy coming back,' Licata said Wednesday on the midday show he co-hosts with Brandon Tierney, according to Awful Announcing. 'I told it to his face. This was years ago, whenever he came back the last time. You can come back all you want, you're not taking my spot.' Sal Licata isn't going down to Craig Carton wihtout a fight. Getty Images for Fanatics While it's unclear whether Fox has other plans for Carton, it makes sense that he could return to The Fan after he had spent 13 years making a name for himself at the legendary New York radio station. Carton worked with WFAN from 2007 to 2017, hosting 'Boomer and Carton' in the mornings before he spent time in prison for fraud charges that the shock jock said was a result of a gambling problem. He returned to WFAN in 2020 to host the afternoon show with Evan Roberts and departed in 2023 when he joined Fox Sports. He launched 'The Carton Show' in 2023 that aired in the early mornings and was later rebranded 'Breakfast Ball.' Craig Carton's show 'Breakfast Ball' was canceled on Fox Sports. GC Images Carton does have a show with FanDuel, which launched in March called 'The Comeback with Craig Carton,' that primarily focuses on responsible gambling and recovery. Carton, a recovering gambling addict, also goes around to colleges to speak about problem gambling, among other things.
