The radio station has a replacement show under contract, according to Missanelli.
“I had some missteps but I hope the good outweighed the bad,” Missanelli said through tears.
Missanelli was a host on 97.5 the Fanatic for more than a decade. He began his career in journalism as a writer with the Philadelphia Inquirer before working in Philly sports radio on 610 WIP and 93.3 WMMR.
In January 2010, Missanelli signed a multi-year deal at then-ESPN affiliate 97.5 The Fanatic. His show began simulcasting on NBC Sports Philadelphia in 2018.
The 2 p.m. through 6 p.m. timeslot on The Fanatic will continue to simulcast on NBC Sports Philadelphia.
