Craig Carton Joins Fox's Outkick

Craig Carton is set to launch a new show on Fox's Outkick, a three-days-a-week program that will debut on September 8. The show will feature Carton's take on national sports and culture, as well as interviews with notable guests.

Carton will keep his hosting duties on WFAN, where he currently leads the 'Afternoon Drive' show. He was previously the co-host of the station's long-running 'Boomer & Carton' show for ten years. Carton has also been hosting the daily podcast 'The Craig Carton Show' for Fox Sports and Red Seat Ventures.

Outkick was founded in 2011 by entrepreneur and personality Clay Travis and was acquired by Fox Corp. in 2021. At the time of the acquisition, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch welcomed the chance to wade into sports news and opinion. Outkick features commentary, podcasts, and news built around sports and culture, and its hosts are known for pushing back on mainstream media stories.

## What it means The launch of Carton's new show on Outkick marks a significant move for the sportscaster, who will now be hosting a national program. It also highlights Fox's continued emphasis on working with creators and influencers, as the company has integrated several upstart digital personalities into its business.

The new show will debut new episodes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and will feature Carton's unique take on national sports and culture. With his experience and reputation in the sports broadcasting world, Carton's show is expected to be a significant addition to Outkick's lineup.

## Background Outkick was integrated into Fox News Media's digital division earlier this year, after Clay Travis stepped away from running the outlet. The site has built a reputation for featuring commentary and podcasts that challenge mainstream media stories, and Carton's show is expected to fit into this mold.

The launch of Carton's new show on Outkick is a significant development in the world of sports media, and marks a new chapter in the sportscaster's career. With his experience and reputation, Carton is well-positioned to make a significant impact on the national sports scene.
