Mike Missanelli Remains Absent from 97.5 the Fanatic
Published:
The Crossing Broad assignment desk has just received breaking news.
Mike Missanelli remains absent from his 97.5 the Fanatic show, with the crew of Tyrone Johnson, Natalie Egenolf, and Andrew Saliciunas running the show instead.
This has been the case since last Wednesday, after Mike threw his headphones across the room and mouthed an expletive following an argument about the Central Park Karen who threatened to call the cops on the “African American man.”
Similar to last week, it’s Tyrone in Mike’s seat, Natalie co-hosting and doing updates per usual, and then Andrew is producing:
Let’s rewind.
After the headphone-throwing incident, a source told me Mike was suspended for an indeterminate amount of time. Kyle then texted Mike, who said he was off for the rest of the week and using up some vacation before sports eventually return. In a follow up post, Kyle suggested that 97.5 and Mike may be on their way to a breakup.
This a developing story, and we will be sure to bring you updates right here on Crossing Broad as they become available. For, now, we’ll send you back to your regularly-scheduled programming.
