Menefee began his broadcasting career at local stations before joining Fox Sports in 1997 and has become a prominent figure in Fox’s NFL coverage.
“I’m beyond thrilled to be returning to FOX 5 as a member of the ‘Good Day New York’ family, while also continuing my weekly hang with my brothers on ‘FOX NFL Sunday,’” Menefee said.
“And how cool is it that I get to share this homecoming with the legendary Rosanna Scotto? Way back in the day, my Fox journey began in the same New York studio sitting beside Rosanna on the 10 O’Clock News.”

“This full circle moment is a dream come true. There’s no place like New York. No place. I can’t wait to get back to the energy of the city, the culture, the restaurants, the people, everything that makes it the greatest city in the world.”
“Morning television is something I’ve always wanted to do because of the variety,” he said. “I’ve been a news nerd my whole life.”
“It is like one of those things when you see players and they always refer to the owner as ‘Mr.,’ ‘Mr. Jones,’” Menefee said. “I’m going to call him Mr. Strahan from this point on, so he knows my respect level, so I get on that plane.”
Lew Leone, senior vice president and general manager of WNYW FOX 5 and WWOR My9, welcomed Menefee to “Good Day New York.”
“Curt is a standout member of FOX Sports, as well as the ultimate team player,” Leone said.
“He’s got the rare ability to combine his journalistic skills, approachability and innate curiosity to connect with morning viewers,” he added.
“I’m thrilled to welcome him to FOX 5 and ‘Good Day New York.’”
