Gargano Takes Mornings on 97.5 The Fanatic
RADIO ONLINE | Monday, April 20, 2015 |
Greater Media's 97.5 The Fanatic has unveiled a brand new local Morning Show featuring sports radio veteran Anthony Gargano. The new show, entitled "Anthony Gargano in the Morning" will start Monday, April 20th and air from 6AM to 10AM. It will be co-hosted by Jon Marks and feature Sports Update Anchor Maureen Williams and Producer Jamie Lynch.
Gargano has been a Philadelphia Sports Talk staple for over 15 years. He began his radio career with 610AM, has hosted programming for FOX Sports Radio in Los Angeles, and was a contributor for local FOX 29 television. He has written four books, including the NFL Unplugged: The Brutal, Brilliant World of Professional Football. He also co-developed the story for the feature film The Mighty Macs, based on the story of 1971 Immaculata College team that won the first women's championship.
"The best part of doing a morning show is the ability to be the first to interact with the most passionate fans in the country," said Gargano. With WPEN since 2006 (then 950AM), Jon Marks has worked as a Producer for the Mike Missanelli Show and as a host of shows that include the Darren Daulton Show and co-host of the Jon & Sean Show. Jon is also a frequent contributor on Fox 29's Good Day Philadelphia.
"We are thrilled to have Anthony join 97.5 The Fanatic," said Senior VP Market Manager John Fullam. "He is the perfect lead-off man for Philly sports talk every weekday morning. It is great to provide Philly sports fans an All Star lineup for their drive times with Anthony in the morning and Mike Missanelli in the afternoon. We are also proud to continue our long-standing affiliation with ESPN and our outstanding contributors including Sal Paolantonio, Ron Jaworski and Jayson Stark."
"Mike and Mike" will now be heard on Beasley Media Group owned, 610 SPORTS, WTEL-AM from 6 to 10AM.
