Chris Christie Auditions For Sports Radio Gig

The New York Daily News reports:

Chris Christie better hope his radio ratings are higher than his approval rating. The New Jersey governor, who currently owns a record-low 15 percent approval rating, will be sharing his thoughts on the local sports scene for WFAN next week.

Christie is set to co-host the afternoon drive time from 2-6:30 p.m. on New York City’s most popular sports talk station next Monday and Tuesday with WFAN’s Evan Roberts.

The shows are being seen as an audition for Christie. He has been in the running to replace Mike Francesa since February when WFAN program director Mike Chernoff said he is “among many names being considered.”

Local sports radio is a far cry from the White House, innit? Christie leaves office in January.
