You ask, we answer. The Post raises questions from readers about the largest pro sports team in New York and asks our authors to answer them in a series of regularly published letter bags. In today’s installment: sports media.
How much longer will the horrifying Francesa Radio.com experiment continue? Many technological problems where he is not even, limited audience. – Sergi Rich
At this time, it’s over, because Francesa is now performing from 6-7 pm. on FAN, which is broadcast simultaneously on Radio.com.
This arrangement makes more sense than when he did 5-6 things. a tight broadcast on Radio.com, which competes with Joe & Evan on WFAN.
Stream vs. Stream, Joe & Evan, according to sources, beat Francesa in that time slot, but still Francesa’s listeners, you have to think about it, are taking it from the FAN.
When Francesa will come with FAN because of her shortcomings 6-6: 30 things. The program, ranking will go down compared to Joe & Evan from 2-6 p ..
There really isn’t a place that stands out for Francesa in FAN anymore, which isn’t her fault. The Radio.com people gave him a three-year contract, which never made sense. They will build a semi-retired radio legend, which has been sending it for years? A late start, form, Francesa’s lost strength, everything doesn’t add up.
It didn’t work, and now that the exclusive Radio.com plug has been temporarily withdrawn, it makes sense that it will become permanent.
Francesa is somewhat invisible, insane lately. He had one viral moment when he chased President Trump over the handling of a pandemic and then occasionally he was involved with the Twitter handle @ BackAftaThis.
Also, it is very quiet, which makes you wonder if Francesa will reduce it even further and only do NFL shows on Sundays in the fall.
What is the situation of Al Trautwig? – Rick McDonough
Nothing really changed with Trautwig. He hasn’t hosted the Knicks or Rangers on the MSG Network all season because of personal problems. He did an interview with Rangers president John Davidson, but it was an assignment recorded only once.
Do you think Marv Albert and the Knicks will get back together and respect him as appropriate?
– @ tombook13
I will doubt that as long as James Dolan has a team. The right thing to do is make peace.
We can discuss all the history that led them to this point, but it would be nice if Dolan reached out his hand to Albert and gave him one night. Albert is the greatest NBA play-by-player of all time and many of them with the Knicks. When you walk into the park it must be recognized. Dolan must be a great person to do it – and, if he does, he will look very good.
I am always interested in hearing the opinions of established journalists about the school-first route vs. experience / blogging-journalism. Will they take the same route they did if they could? – @ DunlapSports
There is no right answer, but I think the more experience the better, so that as early as possible someone can write is ideal. For young writers who find their own voice usually requires practice.

School of journalism is good for the basics and the right professor can make a difference, but you learn while you do, so the earlier and more often a newcomer can write, the better.
With most if not all radio programs are done remotely now, is there a possibility that this will continue in the post-pandemic era? Are there really more advantages to being in the studio as far as the product is concerned? – @MillManner
I think most, if not all, will return to their studios. All shows have done a good job of using technology and making it sound smooth from home. However, there are advantages to being in the same office for initial planning and for eye contact and hand signals during the program. So they will return to the studio, I believe.
