Those with the gift for gab will have an opportunity to show off their sports knowledge and verbal stylings when Roosevelt Field hosts the Sports Radio 66 WFAN Fantasy Phenom Contest, a search to find the next radio personality to host his/her own show for one year on the popular sports radio station.
Auditions will take place at Roosevelt Field Mall. Individuals with a flair for sports commentating are required to register in person at 10 a.m. Participants must be at least 18 years old to register for the contest.
Auditions are limited to the first 100 registrants and participants should be prepared to answer a series of sports-related questions. The winners will then be asked to recite a two-minute "rant" about a sports-related topic of choice. A panel of Sports Radio 66 WFAN personalities will judge the competition.
