Retiring
After 15 years at 97.5 The Fanatic, Mike Missanelli shocked listeners Tuesday afternoon by announcing that this would be his last show.
“It’s hard to take it out because it feels so surreal, but it’s my last day as the host of The Mike Missanelli Show,” said Missanelli halfway into his show.
Misanelli said that his current contract with the station expires in a couple of weeks, and that he and the station’s owner, Beasley Media Group, decided to go “in the other direction”. Co-host Tyrone Johnson told The Enquirer that the announcement was a surprise, and producer Jen Scordo got emotional when Missanelli thanked everyone who worked on the show. Later in the program, Missanelli told a caller that he was “not expecting” to announce the abrupt end of his show.

Fired
On Tuesday’s episode of The Mike Missanelli Show, Missanelli himself had a blast: He was leaving his show at 97.5 The Fanatic after his Tuesday show.
During his announcement, Missanelli stated that his contract was nearing its end, and both himself and the company decided that it would be best to go in the other direction (though Missanelli remaining in another role has been discussed). He also stated that a replacement show for the station was already in line.
Show
According to Missanelli, the radio station has a replacement show under contract.
Missanelli said through tears, “I made some mistakes, but I hope the good outweighs the bad.”
Missanelli was a host on 97.5 The Fanatic for over a decade. He began his career in journalism as a writer with the Philadelphia Inquirer before working at Philly Sports Radio on 610 WIP and 93.3 WMMR.

Mike got very emotional saying this. Some noticeable pause in his delivery. I’ll try to upload the rest of it when I can, but the show doesn’t go into podcast format until later.
First, I’d say it was actually the button. I tried to sniff it and contacted like seven people on Tuesday morning and they didn’t have the story, which tells me it was definitely a late-developing Mike Beasley thing. Nothing came out, the people there did a great job of keeping it quiet (or maybe they had zero clue what was going on).
As we reported earlier, Mike signed a one-year contract last year and then agreed to a short-term extension in December of 2021. The way it was explained to us that the ball was in Mike’s court. Beasley was responsible for working with Mike and re-expanding him and coming up with a new arrangement, but they waited on Mike to do what he wanted them to do. Mike has worked different things over the years, and has his own website and has done a cooking show and loves wine and golf and all that, so you have to wonder if his heart is really about sports talk. How much was on the radio? He’s a veteran and has done it for so long, so if he’s not feeling it now, I can’t blame him at all. At least now he can do what he wants and doesn’t have to listen to Tony from Marlton share his dumbass eagles opinion.
