Both midday shows, The Tony Bruno Show with Harry Mayes and The Jon & Sean Show, will be broadcasting from Pagano’s, 2001 Market Street in Center City, that day.  Tony & Harry will be live from 10am – Noon leading up to the match and then The Fanatic will go to coverage of the game with Jon & Sean broadcasting live at halftime.

The US vs Germany game will be shown outside on the largest outside television in the city; a 20 foot by 17 foot screen, as well as on the televisions inside Pagano’s.

“World Cup fever is sweeping the nation”, said 97.5 The Fanatic Program Director, Matt Nahigian.

“We had an overwhelming amount of listeners asking us to air the game and when we made the announcement we were going to do it, the response was unreal.”

The Fanatic is inviting listeners and fans to come down and join the two midday shows to watch the game, enter to win prizes including Fanatic Fantasy Fest and Philadelphia Union tickets, and enjoy drink specials at Pagano’s.  If you can’t come out to the broadcast, tune into 97.5 The Fanatic for all your FIFA World Cup action.
