Monday Media Drive By On Francesa

Once again, Raismann is all over it. Check out this item in the NY Daily News:
Sports Pope LOLOLOL.

We never asked CBS Radio suits to provide us with October Arbitron ratings for Mike (Sports Pope) Francesa's WFAN show, but for some reason they did.

It wouldn't be because the ratings (in the men 25-54 demographic) showed Francesa was second in the market (3 p.m. to 7 p.m.) compared to third in October 2007, and third in the market (1 p.m.-6:30 p.m.) compared to fifth in October '07, would it?

Of course it would. You think CBS Radio, FAN's parent company, would go out of its way to provide the numbers if Francesa's ratings tanked and he did not do better than he and Chris (Mad Dog) Russo did in October 2007? This is nothing more than a spin job attempting to show Francesa is doing better minus Russo.

Nice try, guys. Run this jive up someone else's flagpole.
