97.5 the Fanatic

ESPN 950 will be simulcast on 97.5 FM, becoming the first sports station to broadcast on FM in the Philadelphia Market. This is an upgrade for those who have trouble hearing the AM broadcast in certain areas - I know I have had that problem.

From 950ESPN.com

"It's an awesome upgrade - sports radio in stereo on the FM dial! All the great programming you have come to expect from 950 ESPN is now on 97.5 The Fanatic."
