They generally use WEVD for sports conflicts except for football. 1050 has a 
great signal, and it's not a station too preoccupied with ratings and bumping 
normal programming.

Infinity owns the rights to both the Jets and the Giants. All games run on 
one of the FMs (Jets are on WXRK, Giants on WNEW), with WFAN picking up one 
game each Sunday (generally the Jets). If one of the teams is playing a 
prime-time game in a certain week, then WFAN airs both games. (They choose 
not to air Giants games regularly since they have a pretty popular Sunday 
afternoon football show hosted by WBZ alum Ed Coleman.)
