WFAN (660 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to New York, New York, United States, with a sports radio format, branded "Sports Radio 66 AM and 101.9 FM" or "The Fan". Owned by Audacy, Inc., the station serves the New York metropolitan area, while its 50,000-watt clear channel signal can be heard at night throughout much of the eastern United States and Canada, and nationwide on SiriusXM satellite radio/Internet channel 94. WFAN's studios are located in the Hudson Square neighborhood of lower Manhattan and its transmitter is sited on High Island in the Bronx. The current WFAN, and its sports format, is the second New York City station with that call sign and programming. The original WFAN was launched on July 1, 1987, on 1050 AM, as the world's first radio station to adopt the sports radio format around-the-clock. The callsign WFAN and sports format were moved to the former WNBC on 660 kHz on October 7, 1988. WNBC's history dated to 1922, when it began operation as WEAF, licensed to Western Electric. Purchased by the Radio Corporation of America in 1926, it became the flagship of the NBC Radio Network, the first national radio network in the United States, later becoming WRCA and WNBC.
