Former 97.5 The Fanatic host Anthony Gargano and his current employer, BSN Media, have reached a settlement in the lawsuit brought on by Beasley Media Group according to Inside Radio. The former WPEN host was sued on September 18, for breach of contract and breach of duty of loyalty while BSN Media was accused of tortuous interference with Gargano’s contract.
BSN Media operates PHLY Sports, a site dedicated to all things Philadelphia sports. They launched in early September with a video which announced their new lineup. In the video, Gargano’s image and name were used along with the words “coming soon.” Upon its release, Gargano was suspended from The Fanatic. The suit alleged Gargano was under contract with Beasley through Oct. 7, 2024.
Beasley had previously received a preliminary injunction against Gargano and BSN Media which ended his employment at WPEN and kept him from providing any services to PHLY Sports or creating content for six months from the date of the temporary injunction, which was granted on Oct. 10.
Terms of the settlement agreement have not been publicly disclosed.
