Waiting For Next Year and Your Sports Network are proud to announce a new partnership aimed at delivering expanded sports coverage and original content to fans locally, regionally, and around the globe.

Founded in 2008, Waiting For Next Year (WFNY) has been a trusted voice in Cleveland sports for nearly two decades, providing in-depth blog coverage and fan-driven podcasts centered around the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland Guardians. Since taking the reins in 2019, owner Joe Gerberry has continued the site’s mission of delivering authentic, passionate, and insightful commentary from a fan’s perspective.

As part of this collaboration, WFNY will continue operating as usual on its home platform, waitingfornextyear.com, while also expanding its reach through YSNLive.com and across Your Sports Network’s growing digital and social media platforms. The partnership creates new opportunities for Cleveland sports content to reach broader audiences while maintaining the voice and identity that WFNY readers and listeners have come to trust.

“Joe and his team are incredible, and their coverage of Cleveland sports aligns with our mission to provide first-class content that our fans want to see, and continue to ask for more,” said YSN Founder and Owner DJ Yokley. “The goal has been, and will always be to provide content, information, and entertainment to everyone who loves sports—this adds a dimension to our coverage that fans are looking for.”

WFNY has built its reputation by embracing the loyalty, passion, and occasional heartbreak that defines Cleveland sports fandom. From playoff runs to rebuilding seasons, the platform has consistently provided thoughtful analysis and a relatable voice for its audience.

“We have been run by fans who understand the loyalty, passion, and heartbreak that comes with being a sports fan,” said Joe Gerberry, owner of Waiting For Next Year. “This partnership with YSN allows us to amplify that voice while staying true to who we are.”

The collaboration signals continued growth for both brands, combining WFNY’s established Cleveland sports expertise with YSN’s expansive multimedia reach. Fans can expect enhanced content distribution, fresh perspectives, and more opportunities to engage with the teams and stories they care about most.
