97.5 The Fanatic is venturing outside of their studio to create a special 12-hour live broadcast for their loyal fans. The Philadelphia sports station has announced it will host “97.5 The Fanatic All Star Day” to help raise funds and awareness onsite and online to benefit the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
The event takes place on Wednesday, May 24th, and continues from 6am to 6pm ET at the pavilion at Pagano’s Market & Bar (2 Commerce Square, 2001 Market Street) in Center City Philadelphia. One added bonus, for the very first time listeners will be able to watch The Fanatic’s shows live on Pagano’s huge 20×20 media wall to guarantee everyone has great view of the event.
“This is a unique opportunity to come and see all of the guys you listen to at one time,” said Matt Nahigian, program director of 97.5 The Fanatic. “It’s a great way for us to get everyone from the station together to raise funds for a very important cause, the AACR.”
As part of the fun-filled day, on-air personalities Anthony Gargano, Rob Ellis, Harry Mayes and Mike Missanelli will rotate in overlapping two hour shifts and be joined by a plethora of popular guest players and contributors. Scheduled to appear include Brian Baldinger (6am), Vai Sikahema (10am), John Kruk (12:30pm), Brian Westbrook (2pm), Ron Jaworski (2pm), Bob Cooney (2pm), and Jayson Stark (3pm).
