Philly Radio: Geoff Mosher EXITS 97.5 The Fanatic

Geoff Mosher, WPEN 97.5 The Fanatic’s versatile fill-in host who had been co-hosting the 6 to 9 p.m. timeslot alongside Devon Givens, has left the station. His final shift was Monday night, according to philly.com.

Mosher, who has covered sports for 20 years and previously wrote for the News Journal and Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, announced his decision on Twitter Tuesday morning. Mosher, who joined The Fanatic as an on-air host in 2015, called his three years at the station “an amazing experience.”

Personal news: Last night was my final shift @975TheFanatic. After three tremendous years there, I've decided to pursue opportunities that I'm not yet ready to announce but will soon. I appreciate the opportunity 97.5 gave when I first came over in 2015 and during my time there.

“I’ll still be actively involved in the Philly sports scene and media. I’ll announce more when the time is right,” he stated in another Tweet.

The Fanatic isn’t expected to immediately replace Mosher. Starting Tuesday night, Givens will host the 6 to 9 p.m. shift solo, according to program director Eric Johnson.

Mosher recently launched a new podcast about the Eagles that he’s co-hosting with Billy Osborne, a veteran broadcaster and South Jersey sports legend who had a standout career at wide receiver at the University of Pittsburgh. Adam Caplan, a former ESPN NFL Insider, is also a contributor.

Mosher’s departure comes as The Fanatic has struggled to keep up with rival 94.1 WIP in the ratings. Outside of afternoon host Mike Missanelli, WIP has outpaced The Fanatic in just about every other daypart (outside of the high ratings it garnered airing Sixers playoff games in April and May).
