Jeff Skversky Returns to Philly Television, Sean Brace Returns to 97.5 the Fanatic, Sort of
Published:
A Philadelphia media 2-fer on a Wednesday morning. First, Jeff Skversky is back on local airwaves:
We’re told Skversky might be filling in on sports where necessary, but it’s a news gig first and foremost. He was with Action News for 13 years before dropping off the face of the Earth entirely at the end of 2021, then confirmed about nine months later that his time at 6 had come to an end. Eventually he made his way to Detroit, and worked at the CBS station there, then returned to Philadelphia after a year or so and has been back in the region ever since.
On the radio side:
In lieu of a midday co-host at 97.5 the Fanatic, Jon Marks has been using a rotating cast of characters, a nostalgia play that currently involves Harry Mayes and Jason Myrtetus. Joining the ranks now is another former Fanatic host in Sean Brace, who paired with Jon more than ten years ago during the station’s heyday:
Okay, so it’s just Thursday for now. Maybe it turns into something regular.
Sean and Jon co-hosted an early midday show at the Fanatic, 10 to noon, when the lineup was Mike and Mike national morning show, Marks and Brace, Bruno and Mayes, then the crossover into Mike Missanelli’s show. Brace was laid off in 2015 and then in 2019 started with iHeart on Fox Sports The Gambler, where he hosted the Daily Ticket afternoon show for 7 years before losing his job last month due to cuts across the entire portfolio.
Marks left the Fanatic for WIP, then left WIP, was off the radio for two years, and returned to 97.5 this football season.
