For the last 15 years, he was the evening drive host of the Mike Missanelli show on 97.5 The Phanatic (WPEN FM), Missanelli is also a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania. He worked 10 years as a writer/reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, before going on a media journey that would take him to prime-time host gigs at the onset of sports talk radio in Philadelphia in the early 1990’s.

Missanelli created a Philadelphia all-sports magazine in the mid-1990’s called The Fan, which dug deep into the Philly sports scene via feature stories on high profile athletes and newsworthy controversies. A few years later, he was named sports anchor on television station WB-17 in Philadelphia as part of the night news team on WB-17 News at 10, subsequently doing both radio and television. He also co-hosted several specialty shows on WB-17, including the Phillies post-show, following live televised Phillies baseball games on the channel.

Leaving sports talk radio for a spell, Missanelli became the lead player on a new morning show on WMMR-FM called “The Philly Guys.” Following that stint, he made his way back into sports talk radio and co-hosted a show on ESPN radio in New York City with ESPN mainstay Stephen A. Smith. In 2010, Missanelli returned to the Philadelphia Inquirer as a sports columnist for the newspaper’s Sunday editions.

Missanelli has received numerous awards during his long career in journalism. He is also the author of The Perfect Season, a book that detailed Penn State football last national championship, when they upset heavily favored and controversial University of Miami at the Fiesta Bowl in 1986. Mike has also just released a children’s book titled “The Adventures of Shima the Shiba.” The book follows the growth of Mike’s dog Shima, a Shiba Inu breed, as she navigates her way from puppy to grown-up, while it also provides valuable lessons for children to follow.
