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.

Where is he now?

Richard Neer is still working weekends on WFAN.
