Jimmy Traina, Sal Licata, John Jastremski Joining Media Start-Up

John Jastremski, Sal Licata, and Jimmy Traina are set to join a new sports media start-up, according to sources speaking with Front Office Sports. Traina announced on social media that his shows will premiere in September, though specifics about the venture remain undisclosed. Jastremski and Licata, both former hosts on WFAN, previously worked together at The Ringer and later at SNY.

Jastremski left SNY earlier this year but continues to contribute to SNY and VSiN. Licata, who started at WFAN as an intern in 2003, spent several years in various roles before returning as a midday host in 2020, when his show was canceled. Traina, who spent over two decades at Sports Illustrated, will be working alongside Licata on a weekly show and other audiovisual projects.
