Max Kellerman leaves ESPN 1050, in talks with Mike Francesa

1050 ESPN Radio and on-air host Max Kellerman have mutually agreed to end their relationship. Kellerman’s final broadcast for the station was yesterday (March 9), 10AM – 1PM. Tim McCarthy, the station’s President and General Manager said: “Max is a highly articulate and passionate sports talk host and he brought a unique voice to our talent lineup. We wish him nothing but the best in all of his future endeavors.”

Kellerman added: “I had some great times at 1050. I appreciate everything Tim McCarthy, Aaron Spielberg, and everyone there have done for me over the years.”  Until a full-time replacement is selected, 1050’s evening host, Brandon Tierney, will host the weekday 10AM – 1PM slot.

Rumor has it that Kellerman might be moving down the dial to join fellow Yankee fan Mike Francesa’s show on WFAN. The New York Post’s Phil Mushnick writes:

While Francesa the Great & Powerful is known to like Kellerman (at least for now), both men are so thoroughly impressed with themselves that placing them in the same studio at the same time without the presence of sharpshooters armed with elephant tranquilizers would be ill-advised. In a medium that accentuates the self-smitten, Francesa and Kellerman are standouts.
