Francesa: No one’s app-set to be paying

In the world of public-relations spin, of course Mike Francesa thinks his new app is doing great. And of course he said a man who stood up on Sunday in Hoboken at a DraftKings event and complained about its price tag of $8.99 per month was an outlier.

“I had one caller on the air, and he’s the second that’s commented that,” Francesa told The Post at the boisterous event at Pilsener Haus & Biergarten, where DraftKings was pushing its own new app for live sportsbook gambling. “Listen, I think you go from radio, where everything you give someone is free, I think paying anything is something new to them. I think you’re going to face that in any walk of life. I think you’re going to see that with people that were brought up with just the [television] networks.

“But eventually, it’s changing, and it’s going to continue to change — there’s no way around it. I think it’s [changing] in every differ- ent way content is made, and it’s distributed. It’s changing radically.”

It was interesting timing for Francesa to be doing an appearance on the first NFL Sunday of the season, because this is just the second year in the past three decades he didn’t spend Sunday morning on his regular radio home, WFAN. But it was also the first day he did what he calls his “Sunday show” exclusively for his new app, which is called “Mike’s On.”

When he made his return to WFAN after an ignominious and short-lived “retirement,” Francesa’s former producer, Mark Malusis, already had taken over the early Sunday slot before NFL games. Riling up as much professionalism as possible, Francesa said he never wanted to step on Malusis’ toes.

“I never wanted to hurt his chances with that show,” Francesa said. “My plan was to come back and do the Sunday show exclusively on the app. Never had any intention to do it on FAN.”
