GREGG GIANNOTTI
Gregg Giannotti returns to his roots in New York to co-host the morning show with former NFL linebacker, Brian Jones on CBS Sports Radio, heard weekdays from 6:00-9:00 AM, ET over the airwaves of the nation’s largest 24/7 major-market radio network.
Giannotti began his sports broadcasting career in 2005 as an intern at CBS RADIO’s WFAN in New York, the nation’s original and most listened to all-sports radio station. He worked part-time for the station following the completion of his internship and joined WFAN full-time in 2007. He first served as a board operator and took on producing responsibilities a short time after that. In 2008, he hosted his first show for the legendary station.
When CBS RADIO was launching a new all-sports radio station in Pittsburgh in 2010, Giannotti was named as Sportsradio 93.7 The Fan’s night host. Just six months later he was promoted to host of the station’s morning show – a program that has perennially been the No. 1-rated sports talk show in the market.
While in Pittsburgh, Giannotti also served as the sideline reporter and pregame host for Pittsburgh football during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. In addition to his duties at The Fan, he also hosted a weekend show on CBS Sports Radio.
Giannotti was graduated from Hofstra University in 2006 and currently resides in Long Island.
