Longtime WFAN media personality Craig Carton is leaving the station for a lucrative contract with FS1, according to a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
The contract for Carton at FS1 will pay him seven figures, sources told Marchand.
The 54-year-old Carton returned to WFAN in 2020 after serving more than a year in prison starting in June ’19, following a conviction for fraud charges stemming from a fake ticket scam. Carton left the station following his arrest in Sept. ’17, after cohosting Boomer and Carton for more than a decade. As part of his conviction, he was ordered to pay $5 million in restitution. Marchand notes that the significant pay raise that he is receiving from FS1 will allow him to pay that bill more quickly.
