Report: WPEN's John Kincade Off the Air Amid Health Battle

John Kincade

WPEN (97.5 The Fanatic)/Philadelphia morning host John Kincade will miss several weeks from his show after being diagnosed with colon cancer, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. Kincade will be exiting his show for "a few weeks" to have surgery. "I'm expecting a fantastic outcome, because that's the attitude that I have," Kincade told the newspaper, adding that his advice would be for everyone to get a colonoscopy.

Kincade has dealt with cancer in the past. He underwent chemotherapy to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1995 and into 1996, and then again for testicular cancer in 1997, according to a Philly Voice profile. Kincade's father, Tom, a World War II POW, died of cancer in 1981 at the age of 57.

Kincade has hosted WPEN's morning program since January, 2021, replacing Marc Farzetta. The show is co-hosted by former Daily News reporter Bob Cooney and producer Pat Egan. Prior to joining the Sports outlet, Kincade was a Sports Talk host in Atlanta for over 25 years, hosting a local show on 680 The Fan and national shows on ESPN Radio and CBS Sports Radio.
