94WIP Hall Of Famers Eskin & Morganti

• Audacy Philadelphia congratulates a couple of SportsRadio 94WIP icons who will be formally recognized for their years of unparalleled contributions to the Philadelphia sports media landscape – legendary SportsRadio 94WIP host Howard Eskin, who recently celebrated 35 years with the station, was inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame on November 3, and morning co-host Al Morganti, will be honored by the Hockey Hall of Fame and receive the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for excellence in hockey journalism.

Really overwhelming,” said Eskin. “They say do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. As hard as I work, I have to admit, it is a labor of love.”

Eskin, who recently celebrated 35 years at SportsRadio 94WIP, was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2007, the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia Hall of Fame in 2011, and the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2014.

Recipients of this award, as selected by their respective associations, are recognized by the Hockey Hall of Fame as “Media Honorees” and selected by the Hockey Hall of Fame Selection Committee. Morganti’s award plaques will be displayed in the Esso Great Hall at the Hockey Hall of Fame alongside those of past recipients.

“It’s the honor of a lifetime to be inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a huge part of any success I have had is because of the fans of Philadelphia,” said Morganti. “Having been on WIP for so many years and working at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I can attest that the emotional investment Philadelphia fans make to their teams makes everyone raise their game. Thank you!”
