Philadelphia

Philadelphia sports fans, get ready, because Jon Marks is officially back on 97.5 The Fanatic.

Middays with Marks airs weekdays from 10AM to 2PM and is produced by Ray Dunne.

For longtime listeners, this feels like a true homecoming. Marks has deep roots with The Fanatic, dating back to his start as Producer of the Sports Radio 950 Morning Show from 2006–2008. He quickly rose through the ranks and connected closely with Philly fans while co-hosting morning and midday programs from 2012–2016. Marks said, “I’m beyond excited for this opportunity.

Philadelphia is the best sports city in the country, and the fans here are as passionate as they come. To be able to talk sports with them every day in this new time slot is an honor, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy and passion to middays on The Fanatic.
