Boomer Leaving WWO’s MNFBooth

• Former pro quarterback-turned-sports media personality Boomer Esiason has decided not to return as color analyst for Westwood One‘s NFL broadcasts after 18 seasons in the Monday Night Football booth. Esiason will continue to anchor the Boomer and Gio morning show on WFAN/New York and co-host CBS TV’s The NFL Today and Showtime’s Inside the NFL.

“It has been an honor to be a member of the Westwood One NFL broadcast team for the last 18 years,” said Esiason. “I’m proud to have delivered the calls for some of the most iconic Monday Night and Super Bowl moments in the history of the NFL. With my continuing busy schedule during the NFL season, including my daily NYC-based morning drive radio show, The NFL Today and Inside the NFL, I thought the timing was right for me to step away. I would like to thank my broadcast partners in the booth who have made the job enjoyable and fulfilling. Also, I would like to thank Westwood One’s senior management and sales force, who, over the years, were instrumental in providing on-air support for the Boomer Esiason Foundation.”

Howard Deneroff, EVP/Executive Producer, Westwood One Sports remarked, “Boomer has been the constant for a generation of Monday Night Football listeners, and we can’t thank him enough for his nearly two decades of service to Westwood One. He has been the ultimate professional, a terrific broadcaster, and a great teammate to all of us who have had the good fortune of working with him.”
