- WFAN est une station de radio américaine diffusant ses programmes en ondes moyennes (660 kHz) sur New York. Cette station est une radio d'informations sportives.

- WFAN (660 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to New York, New York, carrying a sports radio format known as "Sports Radio 66 AM and 101.9 FM" or "The FAN". Owned by Audacy, Inc., the station serves the New York metropolitan area while its 50,000-watt clear channel signal can be heard at night throughout much of the eastern United States and Canada. WFAN's studios are located in the Hudson Square neighborhood of lower Manhattan and its transmitter is located on High Island in the Bronx. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WFAN is simulcast over WFAN-FM (101.9 FM), and is available online via Audacy. Originally at 1050 AM, WFAN was launched on July 1, 1987, as the world’s first radio station to adopt the sports radio format around-the-clock. The format moved to this frequency on October 7, 1988, taking over a facility which signed on in 1922 as WEAF under the auspices of Western Electric. Purchased by RCA in 1926, it became the flagship of the NBC Radio Network, the first fully operational radio network in the United States, at points bearing either the WEAF, WRCA or WNBC call letters. The decline of scripted network radio programming in the late 1950s saw this station gradually relaunched into a middle of the road format, made a brief venture into talk radio in the 1960s, and finally to personality-driven adult contemporary starting in 1971. Don Imus, Wolfman Jack and Cousin Brucie headlined WNBC during the 1970s, then with Imus and a young Howard Stern during the early 1980s. A substantial decline in ratings for WNBC, coupled with RCA's sale to General Electric and dismantling of NBC's radio operations, resulted in Emmis Communications purchasing the WNBC license for WFAN, retaining Imus's morning program and augmenting it into their format.
