Gregg Giannotti

Induction Year: 2024

Location: Bellport

Category: Media

The Bellport native has one of the most envious jobs in sports radio … as a co-host alongside partner and fellow Suffolk Sports Hall of Famer Boomer Esiason on the country’s top sports talk station … WFAN

After graduating from the WFAN newsroom, Giannotti became a full-time employee in 2007, becoming a board op and producer, most notably for Joe & Evan, hosted by Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts. 

In 2008, he had his first opportunity to host a show on WFAN, and then in 2010, he left New York to help launch 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. 

After six months as the evening host, Giannotti was promoted to host the morning show, which became the top-rated sports show in town. 

Giannotti returned home to New York to co-host the morning show with Brian Jones on CBS Sports Radio. 

In 2017, he moved down the hall to the 10th floor of 345 Hudson Street in New York City when he was named to replace Craig Carton as co-host of WFAN’s morning show.

He has been one of the most influential sports talk voices in New York and, concurrently, America. For his influence and impact on the local community through the airwaves, we’re proud to induct Gio.
