Did Tantrum Do In Philly Radio Legend?

🔺   Longtime Philadelphia sports broadcaster abruptly exits

🔺   A new report suggests he was allegedly involved in a new incident involving a co-worker

🔺   He had been a part of the station since it's inception

A longtime Philadelphia sports radio legend shocked the Philly sports world last month when he announced his departure from WIP radio.

On December 20, Howard Eskin, who had been a part of the WIP line-up since its inception 38 years ago announced his departure.

He was one of the original on-air personalities when the station launched in 1986.

In fact, he was the first voice on the station.

Howard announced his departure in a post on X (formerly Twitter)

After 38 years I am moving on from Sportsradio WIP where I launched the station’s sports talk franchise in 1986. I leave the station with great affection for the listeners who have made the work I do so fulfilling during my time there. I’m looking forward to what comes next career-wise. I promise you’ll be the first to know. Thank you.

For his part, Eskin acknowledged the situation and has apologized publicly.

Many thought that was the end of it.

And perhaps it was.

However, now comes word that Eskin was allegedly involved in another ugly situation.

According to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Eskin was involved in another incident.

This time, Eskin was accused of allegedly shouting at a female employee of his former radio station.

The incident allegedly occurred at the Chickie's and Pete's Philadelphia location.

It reportedly happened after a remote broadcast he had hosted with an Eagles player.

As is typically the case, neither WIP radio's owner Audacy nor Eskin, offered any comment.
