Mike Missanelli joins Fideri News Network with new 'On Pattison' podcast

The Fideri News Network continues to grow its footprint, making a significant leap into the multimedia space announcing the launch of its new podcast platform, OnPattison — a collection of programs featuring some of Philadelphia’s best-known sports personalities alongside fresh, locally produced content.

The move builds on Fideri’s existing broadcast foundation through WBCB 107.3FM/1490AM, the company’s flagship radio station and official broadcast partner of both the Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles. WBCB already hosts more than 150 live events each year and produces hundreds of high school sports broadcasts across the region. Those shows will now be integrated into the wider Fideri News Network, expanding their reach to digital and on-demand audiences throughout Greater Philadelphia.

Under the OnPattison banner, listeners can expect a robust mix of new and familiar voices, including:

● The Mike Missanelli Podcast, hosted by veteran broadcaster Mike Missanelli and

journalist Anthony SanFilippo, offering candid and unfiltered takes on Philadelphia sports.

● OnPattison Eagles Post Game Report with Mike Missanelli, breaking down every Eagles matchup with humor and insight.

● Snow The Goalie, featuring SanFilippo, Russ Joy, and former Flyers defenseman Chris Therien, delivering insider access to all things Flyers.

● Pin High: The Philadelphia Golf Show, hosted by Francesca Ruscio, spotlighting golf culture and stories across the region.

● OnPattison’s Bull Session with John Brazer and Tommy Greene, providing inside baseball analysis from a former Phillie’s perspective.

● OnPattison’s Pro Football Report with Adam Kaplan and Geoff Mosher, breaking down football strategy and trends.

● Phillies Stoplight with Tim Kelly and Anthony SanFilippo, offering a data-driven look at key Phillies moments and performances.

The launch isn’t limited to Fideri’s sports offerings. Later this fall, Fideri plans to introduce business and civic programming, including Voices of Reason, Five on the Future, and Keystone Business Report, along with a Daily News Video Brief highlighting top local headlines.

“This expansion represents the next step in Fideri’s evolution — bringing together trusted voices, local journalism, and live sports under one multimedia roof,” said Terry Tracy,

Publisher and CEO of Fideri News Network. “Our goal is to create authentic, community-driven content for listeners who care about how our story is told — both on and off the field.”

Each show will feature custom visuals, social media content, and weekly episodes distributed across Fideri’s local news sites, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms.
