Old man yells at cloud! Maybe four years ago Embiid needed some maturation, but now we’re talking about a 28-year-old father who was MVP runner up and NBA scoring champ, who pulled the Sixers along for months while Ben Simmons sat out being a big baby. Maybe his social media game is improving, even though social media “is not social and not media.” He tagged Embiid, cropped the photo (even though he could have just quote tweeted), and even added a #Sixers hashtag. following up with this tweet is ridiculous. Work in circus if you want to be a clown. your childish cryptic tweets are not charming or funny. SportsRadio 94 WIP's Spike Eskin said he didn't immediately jump at the opportunity to lead WFAN.Hey Bro.you need to grow up and act like a pro. You can be informative and entertaining at the same time, and sometimes we get the latter without the former on all media platforms, because there’s an infusion of artificial beliefs to reel in the lowest common denominator of the audience. You can play devil’s advocate or exercise any number of techniques for the sake of conversation. You can be a Ben Simmons “stan” and still discuss with other people the jump shot or the spacing issue. Pragmatic analysis takes all sides of an issue and presents various talking points to support or discredit a respective position. It’s not like two radio hosts just sit there and say, “ We both like Jalen Hurts, therefore there’s nothing to talk about.” You also don’t have to feel strongly about a topic to engage. You don’t necessarily have to disagree about something to discuss it. Angelo does it one way, Jon and Ike do it their way, and Joe does it his way.” It’s about finding topics where a conversation can be had. It’s not about trolling people or being disingenuous. The idea should be to create conversation and entertain. “If everyone agreed with each other, things would be crazy. Hosts such as Marks and Giglio have earned similar reputations and Eskin even hired Eagles reporter Elliott Shorr-Parks, (sic) who is also known for taking stances he knows will elicit strong responses. Cataldi has been doing this for years, with many seeing him playing a character or at least a heightened version of himself on air. “Hosts will take a provocative stance to draw in listeners. They are #1 across the board and beating the brakes off the Fanatic, so going to NY is a promotion and a new challenge at the same time.īlumenthal also asked about the idea that WIP started doing “takes” when Eskin took over: It’s not like there’s any unfinished business. There’s nothing left for Spike to do at WIP. “I probably could have been very happy at WIP for the next 10 years but I thought this was a great opportunity.” “I thought about it and I was excited about the platform of WFAN, the challenge and privilege of working with the hosts and staff there, making them the best they can be and taking the station to its next chapter like we did here at WIP,” Eskin said. Plus, he would get to work again with New York Market Manager Chris Oliviero, who he had known when Oliviero was chief content officer at Audacy predecessor CBS Radio. Not only is it the largest media market in the country, but it’s also not far from Philadelphia and has the same type of passionate northeast sports fans. He came to believe, though, that New York, and specifically WFAN, was a natural fit. At the Philadelphia Business Journal, Jeff Blumenthal spoke to Spike Eskin about his pending departure from Sports Radio 94 WIP.Įskin will take over as the Vice President of Programming for WFAN and CBS Sports Radio on the first of July, and told Blumenthal he wasn’t so sure about the move at first:
