"I'm extremely excited to be joining forces with NBC Sports Philadelphia," said Missanelli. "97.5 led the way in town to bring sports talk radio to the FM airwaves and now we are so looking forward to bringing it to television. The show will continue to provide the very best in sports analysis and fun, entertaining radio. I can't wait for everyone to become part of it."
