Director Daniel H. Forer's hourlong film focuses on the success of WFAN sports talk pioneers Mike Francesa and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo. The documentary includes in-depth interviews and archival tapes.

"We're looking forward to it," Francesa said on his show in June. "And it's a documentary that'll be there forever, so it's kind of nice."

Francesa and Russo teamed together for 19 years on WFAN before their show ended in 2008. Francesa still hosts a show on weekday afternoons on WFAN. Russo now has his own channel on Sirius XM.

ESPN has not yet announced when it will broadcast the documentary.
