Philadelphia, PA (June 3, 2026): Beasley Media Group announced today that longtime sports radio personality John Kincade will depart the Kincade & Salciunas Morning Show on 97.5 The Fanatic at the end of July to pursue the next chapter of his career. Kincade’s final day on-air will be Friday, July 31, 2026.
Andrew Salciunas will continue as host of the station’s weekday morning show from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Kincade has been a passionate voice in Philadelphia sports broadcasting for decades. Since returning home to Philadelphia and joining The Fanatic in 2021, he has become a key part of the station’s weekday lineup, connecting with listeners through his deep sports knowledge, authentic personality, and unwavering love for the city’s teams and fans.
“John has brought tremendous passion, professionalism, and authenticity to our morning show and to the Philadelphia sports community,” said Scott Masteller, Program Director of 97.5 The Fanatic. “He’s been an important part of the station’s success, and we’re grateful for everything he has contributed both on the air and behind the scenes. We fully support his decision and wish him and his family nothing but the very best in this next chapter.”
“John’s connection with Philadelphia sports fans is genuine and special,” said Paul Blake, Vice President and Market Manager of Beasley Media Group Philadelphia. “He helped strengthen our morning franchise and brought an incredible level of energy and commitment to the station every single day. We are thankful for his contributions to The Fanatic and appreciate the impact he has made on our listeners, team members, and partners throughout his time with us.”
“After a great deal of thought, I’ve decided that this summer will be the right time for me to step away from mornings at The Fanatic,” said Kincade. “This decision comes after a lot of reflection following my cancer battle and thinking carefully about what’s best for me and my family moving forward. I’m incredibly grateful to Beasley, to my teammates, and most importantly to the Philadelphia listeners who welcomed me back home in 2021 and supported me every step of the way. I’m proud of what we’ve built on the morning show and very confident in the future of The Fanatic. There’s a tremendous team here both on-air and behind the scenes. I’m not retiring, and I’m excited to eventually explore what comes next professionally. Philadelphia has meant so much to me, and I can’t thank the fans enough for their support, especially during my health journey.”
Kincade has been broadcasting locally and nationally since 1992 and has remained a respected and recognizable voice in sports radio throughout his career. In addition to hosting mornings, he has served as a digital content creator covering the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers for the station.
