Burke could have a dual role, like Howie Rose once did.\u00a0Rose used to do both the Islanders and Mets. Burke succeeded Rose as the TV play-by-player of the Islanders. Burke also does the NHL nationally for Turner Sports. There has yet to be any full contract discussions between FAN and Burke.<\/p>\n<p>The decision on the future of the booth has further come into focus as the Yankees and FAN announced an extension of their contract on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The deal could go as long as seven years, though, both sides have some opt-outs, according to sources. The FAN\u2019s current agreement that pays the Yankees in the $15-20 million per season range has one year remaining.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees may receive\u00a0slightly\u00a0less money per year than previously, but the length of the deal was vital to them because they are forced to share 33 percent of their radio revenue with the rest of baseball.<\/p>\n<p>The two sides also hope to expand on their partnership with some creative new programming.<\/p>\n<p>Burke was not the only option FAN considered. Ryan Ruocco was someone who was high on the list, but he may have too much ESPN and YES TV responsibilities to make it viable. FAN has liked the fill-in work of Justin Shackil and Rickie Ricardo, but Burke is in the on-deck circle.<\/p>\n<p>As for Suzyn Waldman, 75 and just named a member of the Radio Hall of Fame, her role of as the radio analyst is not expected to change. She has worked well with all the fill-ins this year, including Burke.<\/p>\n<p>If a more robust schedule fits and Burke is eventually the voice of the Yankees, it would mean Burke has gone full circle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a kid, Brendan was around the Yankees all the time as his father, Don, now a copy editor (but not a source) at The Post, was a Yankee beat writer for the Star-Ledger. When Brendan was nine years old, he had a picture sitting between Sterling and Michael Kay, then the radio team.<\/p>\n<p>Now, at 38, Burke could be the one following Sterling in one of the most legendary spots in sports radio.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/sterling.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"John Sterling in the Yankees booth in 2019.\" class=\"wp-image-23224397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/sterling.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/sterling.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/sterling.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/sterling.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>John Sterling in the Yankees booth in 2019.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clicker_Book_Club\"><\/span>Clicker Book Club<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the Subway <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> this week, Papa Clicker has a baseball book review for you.
