Anyone in living in the NYC Metro area knows that it’s easy to be annoyed every weekday afternoon if they just turn on 660 WFAN. Thanks to DePoe for tipping us off on this one: Chris “Mad Dog” Russo is gone. After 19 years, he’ll need to find new work.

“They mutually agreed” to go their separate ways, said Mark Chernoff, the station’s vice president of programming.

“Mike has signed a long-term, multi-year deal. [Chris] is leaving.”

If you’ve never heard the Mad Dog, he can be really annoying. He has this high-pitched voice and he screams a mile a minute.

UPDATE: DePoe actually heard the show and adds this: “Mike actually had him on the phone after an opening monologue – basically sucking his own [male genitalia] about how awesome he is and how everyone loves him and the show and ratings are so high cause they rule etc .. the best part is that dawg actually broke down and started crying while reflecting on the 19 year stretch of the show .. precious!”
