New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may not be be going to Washington. But the politico’s next move may be a drastic one: sports radio.
The boisterous politician is rumored to be one of the top candidates to take over a major drive-time slot on WFAN-AM, New York’s largest and most influential sports radio station, according to NorthJersey.com. The radio station’s general manager told the site, “if he’s interested and we’re interested, it’s worth pursuing.”
As the site reports:
The same attributes that catapulted Christie to national fame in his first term – unabashed volubility and acerbic reflexes – translate well to sports talk radio, radio industry experts say, and those qualities may soon serve him in a second act that is potentially far more lucrative and certainly less consequential.
As Christie’s political decline continues, he’s made frequent appearances on the radio station, even guest hosting the morning show 10 times since last year.
