According to the Philly Business Journal, Gargano's contract expires at the end of the year and he reportedly rejected an offer of a one-year extension— less than the multi-year extensions signed this month by morning show hosts Angelo Cataldi and Al Morganti.
Gargano is one of several former Philadelphia Inquirer sports writers that migrated to WIP along with Cataldi, Morganti, Glen Macnow and Mike Missinelli (now at 97.5 FM The Fanatic). He started as a midday host but moved with Macnow to the afternoon drive shift when Howard Eskin vacated that time slot a few years ago.
Macnow was replaced by Rob Ellis last year but stayed with WIP and parent company CBS Radio. CBS Radio management is reportedly grooming night time host Josh Innis, a Missouri native who joined WIP earlier this year from a Houston station, to succeed Gargano.
Thanks to WIP and all of the Philadelphia fans for 15 great years! On to the next chapter. #stillbelieveinchip
