SIGN NEW MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP FOR RADIO BROADCAST RIGHTS
New York's Sports Talk Radio Leader to Broadcast Mets Through 2008
FLUSHING, N.Y., November 10, 2005 - The New York Mets
and Infinity Broadcasting's Sports Radio 66 WFAN, New York's
sports talk radio leader, today announced an extension of their
broadcast partnership for live play-by-play coverage of Mets
pre-season, regular season and post-season games through 2008.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Under the new agreement, WFAN will produce exclusive Mets

and pre-game and post-game reports. The three-year extension is
slated to begin February 2006 with live coverage of the team's
training camp from Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
"We are delighted to extend our relationship with WFAN, our
long-time flagship radio partner," said Dave Howard, Executive

programming and promotion commitment, and signal strength will
bring the excitement of the Mets to fans in the tri-state area -
and well beyond."
"Our 18-year affiliation with the New York Mets has been a
true success story," said Mark Chernoff, Operations Manager of
the station. "This partnership is not only valuable to the
station but also to WFAN's listeners, and we're thrilled to
provide them with extensive coverage of their favorite baseball
team."

programming since the station's inception in 1987.
