Tiki Barber is out at CBS, but he is in on Giants radio broadcasts on WFAN.
On Wednesday morning, Audacy, the parent company of WFAN, announced an extension of its partnership to carry play-by-play of Giants games.
The announcement added that Barber would join John Schmeelk as a co-host of the station’s pregame and postgame Giants gameday broadcasts.
“I am really excited to be joining the Giants gameday radio broadcast team on WFAN,” Barber said in a news release. “This organization has meant so much to me, professionally and personally. The Giants have a long history of legendary broadcasters and Wellington Mara always told them to call it like they see it because our fans know better. I look forward to providing analysis and insight that Giants fans appreciate.”
Shortly thereafter, CBS announced its NFL game announcer lineup for 2025, and it did not include Barber, which explained his availability for the Giants broadcasts. He will be replaced by Charles Davis alongside play-by-play man Andrew Catalon and analyst Jason McCourty.
Barber is the Giants’ all-time leading rusher and co-hosts the afternoon drive time program on WFAN with Evan Roberts.
“I’m excited to be back in the Giants family,” Barber said on his WFAN program on Wednesday. “It’ll be fun.”
