Philly Radio: 97.5 The Fanatic Launching New Morning Show

Starting Monday, March 18th, listeners to WPEN-FM 97.5 The Fanatic will hear a new morning show airing from 6 to 10 am every weekday. 

Featuring John Kincade and Andrew Salciunas as the hosts, and Connor Thomas as the producer and update anchor. The show will “bring a new fresh approach to sports media with a major emphasis on covering breaking sports news as it happens.”

“I am truly excited to pair John and Andrew for a new sports show that will reflect the energy and passion of the Philadelphia sports fan,” said station Program Director Scott Masteller.

John Kincade returned to Philly in 2021. Since then, he has served as the morning show host on the station. Before that, Kincade spent two decades hosting “Buck and Kincade” on Atlanta radio. But his heart was still always in his hometown, Philadelphia.

Now he is joined by Andrew Salciunas, who has worked at the station for over 10 years. Andrew started as an intern. From there he was hired as an associate producer, and eventually as the full-time producer from 10 am to 2 pm. Since September, he has hosted in that same time slot. Now he makes the moves to mornings to join John Kincade.

Connor Thomas meanwhile has been hosting Philly Sports Tonight. He first joined 97.5 The Fantic as an associate producer in 2020. Now he goes from the p.m. shift to the a.m., to produce Kincade and Salciunas.

Bob Cooney moves to the Mid-Days time slot, with Pat Egan taking over for Connor as host of Philly Sports Tonight.

📻You can listen to the show on the radio at 97.5 FM, listen to them on the Fanatic app, or watch the show on the Fanatic YouTube page.
