“Angelo Cataldi is a sports icon in the city of Philadelphia and we couldn’t be more fired up that he will continue his historic run of success on 94WIP,” said David Yadgaroff, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Philadelphia. “He is the voice of the fans and has an unmatched level of passion for all things Philadelphia sports.

All I can do is express my appreciation to Entercom and to all of my colleagues at WIP. But most of all I want to thank the listeners who have been so loyal to me and to everyone at the morning show. I can’t believe I get to do a job I love in the city whose passion for sports is incomparable. Now let’s win another championship.”
