Richard Neer
Richard Neer is long known to New Yorkers for over 25 years. He was a DJ on WNEW during its Classic Rock days and was a long-time weekend Sports host on WFAN. Richard's honest approach and knowledge of both Rock and Sports made him a fan favorite. Richard had 2 tenures as WNEW's Morning Host during its Rock Days and both were unsuccessful ratings-wise. Richard was then asked to become the new "Sports in the Morning" host replacing Chris Dimino. The new show would have a twist. It would be "Sports in the Morning - powered by the FAN". Richard was essentially taking his WFAN show to WNEW (while still working weekends at WFAN) and continuing the hard-core Sports talk format that Chris Dimino had set forth. The ratings never took off and when WNEW dropped the talk format, Richard Neer would complete a third unsuccessful stint as a WNEW Morning Host. Thus would end the Sports Guys/Sports in the Morning saga.
Richard Neer is still working weekends on WFAN.
