The upheaval at WFAN continues.

Chris Carlin, a co-host on the “Carlin, Maggie & Bart” show, announced Wednesday that he is no longer with the radio network.

“I’m sad to say today [Wednesday] was my last day at WFAN,” he wrote in a Twitter statement. “I want to thank CBS Radio and Entercom for giving me an incredible opportunity for the last 2 years.”

A source told The Post’s Andrew Marchand that Bart Scott and Maggie Gray are in FAN’s future plans. FAN has not decided yet upon its upcoming schedule.

Changes coming to Entercom and a pending schedule on who takes Chris Carlin's seat is yet to be determined.

I think three hosts were too many especially for a 2-hour show. I certainly hope that Chris Carlin lands on his feet. I enjoyed watching him on SNY.

Carlin always seemed to be more the producer behind the glass type. Did he ever work well as on air talent.

Two factors to be taken into consideration:

1) when does Joe Benigno retire?
2) what will Francesca do? and when will he do it?

They can't even do anything at the very least until Francesca shows his hand - he's got the 'Fan by the tails, as it were....

My bet? Three shows:

1) Boomer and Gio - 6 to 10
2) Joe and (JJ - that's just the prevailing hunch) - 10 to 2
3) 2 to 6 is open - if Francesca decides to leave.....he's done strange things before....

1. How old is Joe?

2. It's Francesa, not Francesca. Sometimes I think most of his listeners and even people who watched him on CBS TV have never known this.
