Citing personal reasons related to the death of her father, WPEN-FM, Philadelphia “97.5 The Fanatic” afternoon drive producer Sylvana Kelleher left the show and the station after Friday’s 
broadcast (7/10). She addressed the matter last Thursday on the “Unfiltered” show where she was on-air producer for the show hosted by Ricky Bo and Bill Colarulo. She told the program’s audience about she hasn’t felt the same passion for the job since her father passed. She posted to Instagram: “This was the hardest decision I’ve had to make, but it’s time I focus on my health. I love very single person that has listened, supported, texted, interacted with me. You guys have all shown me so much love, it’s hard or even comprehend.”
Fanatic” to host the midday show, effective August 12. “97.5 The Fanatic” program director Scott Masteller says, “I am excited to welcome Mike back to the Fanatic. I know that both previous and new listeners will be anxious to hear his insight and perspective on Philadelphia Sports.” The company also announces that Bill Colarulo, a recent addition to the station, will join Mike Missanelli as part of the show’s new on-air lineup.
Mike Missanelli is a possible replacement. He writes, “Jonny Marks reported last week that the Mike/Fanatic reunion looks to be in place ahead of football season. My understanding is that 97.5 is also high on Bill Colarulo and Amy Fadool as new pieces. Colarulo hosts weekends and has filled in on P.M. drive while Fadool had been co-hosting alongside Cooney.” For his part, Cooney posted the following to Facebook: “Wanted to say thanks to all who listened over the years during my time at The Fanatic. Loved the conversations and getting to know a lot of you. They told me today they are moving in a different direction.”
