Executives at Greater Media have suspended three 97.5 The Fanatic employees for their role in a fake caller scandal that has garnered national media attention.
Sources with knowledge of the situation say Pat Egan, the producer who created the “Dwayne from Swedesboro” character, and Mike Missanelli’s on-air partner Jason Myrtetus have been suspended for three days, effective Friday.
Matt Nahigian, the station’s program director, has also been suspended. All three will be able to return to the station Wednesday.
According to reports from Crossing Broad and Philly.com, Nahigian was to meet with Black Lives Matter Pennsylvania organizer Asa Khalif tomorrow at the station. Philly.com reports it’s unknown whether that meeting will still take place.
Stay tuned.
What a joke they gave into a hate group .
I don’t think they gave into a hate group as much as it just needed to happen.. He was a puss for agreeing to meet with them though.. The other site broke it but this site much better with the updates.
What is everyone talking about that happen to Trotter? I can’t find anything online..
You’re absolutely right, the good’ol boys network, over @ 97.5 the fanatic, is a hate group.
