One of the most storied sports-talk radio teams in history is breaking up.

Two weeks short of its 19th anniversary, the "Mike and the Mad Dog" show appears to be dead because the Mad Dog – Chris Russo – is leaving WFAN.

Mike Francesa now takes over as the solo host of the highly-popular program. WFAN announced Thursday night that it had signed him to a multiyear contract.

"Mike and Chris pioneered the genre more than 18 years ago and have shaped the sports talk format into what it is today," WFAN operations director Mark Chernoff said in a statement. "We wish Chris nothing but the best and look forward to all that Mike will do in a role in which he has excelled at for years."
