Q102 Announces the Return of "Jeff and Josh" During the Afternoon Drive

Duo Returns Home to Philly- Q102 Philly announced today the return of station veterans, Jeff 'Ratboy' and Josh 'Staypuff,' as its new afternoon drive hosts, beginning Friday, February 14.

The Jeff and Josh Show will air weekdays from 3-7:00 p.m.  They will return to Philly from Tampa, where they recently hosted evenings for the past seven years.

"It's hard to leave palm trees and sun, but not when it comes to a station that has been part of our lives since we were kids," said Jeff and Josh.  "We are beyond excited to give everything we have to our new show.  Get ready, Philly, we’re coming home!"

Mike Missanelli Has Been Suspended from 97.5 The Fanatic

Mike Missanelli, the afternoon host at 97.5 The Fanatic has been suspended indefinitely for using homophobic language in an email exchange with a listener who was not a fan of the host.

The suspension came after several emails between Missanelli and the listener were made public by the website Deadspin. Mikey Miss repeatedly called the listener a "homosexual."

Former KYW-TV Channel 3 news anchor Larry Mendte, who knows a thing or two about emails, came to Missanelli's defense in a PhillyMag.com article and says the suspended sports-talk host was “trying to be clinical” with the email troll.

After the announcement of his suspension, Missanelli issued a statement apologizing for his actions.

CBS Partners with NFL for Thursday Night Football

CBS is adding a package of Thursday night games to its already loaded NFL lineup next season.

CBS will simulcast eight games with the NFL Network early in the 2014 season. The remaining eight late-season games will be seen on the NFL Network, which previously aired the entire Thursday Night Football franchise.

“NFL Network built Thursday into a night for NFL fans,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Our goal is to bring these games to more fans on broadcast television with unprecedented promotion and visibility for Thursday Night Football on CBS.”

Here's a Message for 94 WIP, It's Time to End Wing Bowl

How long will Josh Innes Last in Philly?

Josh Innes and his only friend in Philly???

To say the least the new night host is not playing well in Philadelphia? He was brought here by CBS Radio management to give a boost to ratings for 94 WIP. From what I understand he did quite well on the sports radio station in Houston. He is a rising star within corporate circles. Why not? He's made a lot of money for CBS. Apparently he had the option of choosing Philly or Atlanta. He should have chosen Atlanta.

The problem with Josh Innes is that he doesn't know Philly sports. He has not lived and died with the few successes and the multitude of defeats that the Philadelphia sports fans have endured over the years. The reason hosts like Al Morganti, Glen Macnow, Ray Didinger and even Angelo Cataldi and Howard Eskin have done well is because they were journalists. They were newspaper men who have been in the locker rooms for years watching games and interviewing players. In Eskin's case he done it all including TV. Even Mike Missanelli over at 97.5 The Fanatic was also an Inquirer writer.
