QuoteAFTER HIS second physical altercation with a co-worker in four months, 610 WIP's Mike Missanelli was fired yesterday by the sports-talk station.
Sources say Missanelli, 50, hit part-time WIP producer Brian Robbins after the two men argued during a live remote broadcast Friday at Brownie's 23 East (23 E. Lancaster Ave.) in Ardmore.
Station bossMarc Rayfieldconfirmed that Missanelli had been terminated, but offered no further comment. By 7 last night all mentions of Missanelli had been yanked from 610WIP.com.
Missanelli was absent yesterday from the daytime show he had been co-hosting with Anthony Gargano. Reached yesterday afternoon, Missanelli told us the day off was scheduled and he denied being involved in a physical altercation on Friday.
"I am unaware of any altercation," Missanelli repeated several times during a five-minute chat.
Robbins, who sources say is in his 20s, could not be reached for comment last night.
Missanelli, a former Inqwaster reporter who holds a law degree from Widener, worked at WIP from 1992 to 2003, then left to work at 93.3 WMMR-FM. He was fired in April 2004, 14 months into a two-year contract, and returned to WIP last June.
In December, we reported that Missanelli had grabbed morning host Angelo Cataldiduring an on-air argument in the WIP studio. Missanelli denied that it had gotten physical; Cataldi would not discuss it.

Well, shtein. My respect for him went up since he grabbed Cataldi. But I'm still glad he was shtein canned.

Punching a producer? Dudes got issues.

ice grillin you

he made good radio.  most people here would rather hear grown men slop on andy reid's dong for 3 hours in the afternoon.

ironically thats what the king does...hes an eagle apologist on par with even pg

the reason i liked mikey miss is that he was just a regular cat who had very strong opinions...you could see yourself sitting at a table playing cards with him and talking sports music movies politics whatever...and you also could see yourself coming over that same table and choking him...not much different than me and any of my friends
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

i've been listening today, Hugh is awful on the radio.

and of course, in the world of radio, when you're fired, you're erased, no mention of Mikey Miss whatsoever.
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Holy crap, that is the worst show EVER. 94.1 is a disgrace filling the whole day with that crap instead of music.

I was thinking more along the lines of Dei Lynam.  Now that would be a cat fight train wreck to the nth degree.

Dei has some big cans.

The battle of annoying chick broadcasters.

Is Leslie Gudel in there somewhere?
