Beasley Media Group will debut a new afternoon show, "Unfiltered with Ricky Bo and Bill Colarulo," on WPEN-FM (97.5 The Fanatic) in Philadelphia. The program will premiere Monday, June 9 and air weekdays from 2-6pm. With no topic off-limits, the show will feature unfiltered takes on the biggest headlines, plays, and decisions shaping local sports.
Former Phillies pitcher and longtime TV analyst Ricky Bottalico brings insider perspective from his 12-season MLB career, including seven years with Philadelphia. Known for his fiery commentary and deep roots in the city, Bottalico said, "I've never been one to sugarcoat things, and that's exactly what this show is about -- raw, real, and unfiltered. Philly fans deserve honesty."
Co-host Bill Colarulo joined The Fanatic in January 2024 and quickly emerged as a respected voice. A former trial attorney and Temple Law graduate, Colarulo brings detailed preparation and sharp analysis to the show. "This city lives and breathes sports, and getting the chance to be part of that conversation every afternoon with Ricky is something I don't take for granted," he said.
"Ricky and Bill's ability to connect with our audience through compelling insight and thoughtful commentary make them the perfect team for afternoons on The Fanatic," said Paul Blake, Vice President and Cluster Manager at Beasley Media Group Philadelphia.
Program Director Scott Masteller added, "Ricky's passion and deep knowledge, combined with Bill's sharp analysis and listener rapport, make for a dynamic duo that's going to resonate with Philly sports fans in a big way."
