John Kincade Will Leave 97.5 The Fanatic Morning Show on July 31

Doctors warned that waking daily at 4 a.m. could harm his health after cancer treatment.

Overview

  • Kincade announced on Wednesday that his final morning show will air July 31 and that he plans to stop working a job that requires a 4 a.m. alarm.
  • He said the decision follows conversations with physicians after his 2023 colon cancer diagnosis and earlier battles with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and testicular cancer.
  • Beasley Media Group confirmed co-host Andrew Salciunas will continue hosting the station’s weekday morning program from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
  • Kincade said he is not retiring and may pursue other work on his own terms, and he and his wife have sold their Philadelphia-area home as they plan to relocate.
  • The departure is the latest in a series of lineup changes at 97.5 The Fanatic as the station reduces some local evening programming and reshapes its roster to respond to market and digital competition.
