Waldman in 2014įollowing the 2013 season, the Yankees moved their radio rights to WFAN, and announced that Waldman and John Sterling would return for their tenth year together in the booth.

At WFAN, she covered both the Yankees and the New York Knicks basketball teams and co-hosted the daily mid-day sports talk show.

Her voice-on a live sports update-was the first heard on WFAN when it premiered on 1050 AM at 3:00 PM on J(it moved to 660 AM a year later). Waldman has worked in sports reporting for more than 30 years, as a former broadcaster for the YES Network as the reporter on the New York Yankees Pre-Game Show and the New York Yankees Post-Game Show and New York sports radio station WFAN. According to the Yankees, Waldman was major league baseball's first full-time female color commentator. In 2005, she was hired to do color commentary for Yankees baseball on WCBS Radio, partnering with John Sterling.
