Audacy has named Emmanuel Berbari as postgame show host for WFAN’s (WFAN-FM/AM) flagship New York Yankees baseball broadcasts. Berbari joins Suzyn Waldman (color commentator and pregame host) and Dave Sims (play-by-play) as part of the station’s broadcast team. He will continue to serve as a fill-in play-by-play announcer.
“We are excited to have Emmanuel take on an expanded role as the postgame show host for WFAN’s Yankees broadcasts,” said Chris Oliviero, Market President, Audacy New York. “Emmanuel has been a terrific contributor to our team coverage the last few seasons and his passion for the game makes him a perfect fit to wrap up each game for the fans of the Bronx Bombers.”
“Growing up hanging on every pitch and each word on Yankees Radio, the opportunity to be a part of the team these last two seasons has been surreal,” said Berbari. “I’m thrilled to continue the relationship and look forward to working with Suzyn, Dave and everyone at WFAN and the Yankees this season.”
Berbari is in his third season with the WFAN Yankees Radio Network, where he began behind the scenes (2018-21) before moving into on-air roles and making his MLB play-by-play debut in 2023. He also contributes to SportsNet New York (SNY) and calls Big East Basketball for FOX Sports, along with MAAC and Atlantic 10 coverage.
His past play-by-play roles include the Hudson Valley Renegades, Chatham Anglers, and ESPN’s digital platforms. Berbari has earned five New York State Broadcasters Association and Associated Press awards, two STAA Jim Nantz All-American honors, and three Marty Glickman Awards while at Fordham University’s WFUV.
