Jason Myrtetus is Returning to 97.5 the Fanatic
Published:
Not permanently, but he’s doing a weekend shift, per him:
Beginning this Saturday I will be doing a show on @975TheFanatic from Noon-3pm. Going to have some fun and I am excited to be on the air and talk to a lot of listeners I have not spoken to for a while. Plus @Pat_Egan is my half assed producer. Watch out. Cheers.

You might remember Jason was let go in October when Beasley cut a few positions. He had been with 97.5 for a long time, previously serving as Assistant Program Director, Mike Missanelli’s producer, and a co-host alongside Harry Mayes and Anthony Gargano (aka The Cuz).
This would suggest to me that there were no hard feelings between Myrtetus and Beasley when the October move was made. No bridges were burned. For what it’s worth, Program Director Eric Johnson was fired a month after Myrtetus left, so he’s no longer in the picture as 97.5 tries to adjust during a global pandemic.
It’s my understanding that other similar moves could be in the works.
