On "Radio Row" at the Super Bowl--Best, Newsday

WFAN'S "(Mike) Francesa and (Chris) Russo are Super Bowl pioneers, first setting up in a New Orleans hotel lobby in January 1990, with little company.

• Two years later, the NFL sanctioned Radio Row. In 1993, it had 18 stations. This year there are 95, and if they were in an actual row, it would reach out the door. More wanted to come but were denied because of space limitations.

Russo said he is "absolutely amazed" at the growth he has seen. "It's just one right after the other," he said. "There are a million of these shows.""
