'Nick and Artie Show' coming to 610WIP starting Wednesday

POSTED: Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 11:20 AM

Syndicated sports talk show "The Nick and Artie Show," featuring Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange and comedian Nick DiPaolo comes to SportsRadio 610WIP weekdays from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. starting Wednesday night.

The show will be heard on 610WIP, but not its FM signal at 94WIP. It may also be streamed online at NickandArtie.com.

Lange attemped suicide in Jan. 2010 and never returned to the Stern show where he had spent nine years. He was off radio until last summer when he and DiPaolo filled in for Tony Bruno on his Fox Sports Radio show. The Nick and Artie show launched in October and in December the show was picked up by Sirius XM Satellite Radio's Extreme Talk channel, the first time Lange was heard on Sirius since leaving Stern.

We would be remiss to not take this opportunity to shout-out the hilarious film "Dirty Work," in which Lange co-starred with Norm MacDonald.

    thats just it Delaware, they have nothing to do with philly sports. just another indicator of how far WIP has fallen. they fire eskin, put on the putrid Mike&Ike show and follow that up with this nonsense. the only reason you cant say 97.5 ESPN radio is killing WIP is because WIP is already dead....LOL

    No one listens to WIP. If they want sports talk full of energy and quick opinions from the heart, they listen to 97.5 ESPN. WIP is old, slow and out of touch. They should have never changed WYSP's format away from music.

    Wow, I'm surprised to see that many people are finally seeing what I saw, or should I say heard, in WIP years ago. I left WIP as soon as Sports Talk 950, now 97.5 the Fanatic went on the air in 2005. The hosts are old and stale on WIP. Every once in a while I try to listen to see if they changed and after about 5 minutes I am dialing back to 97.5. Still bad!!

    GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!! or shall we say GOODBYE EVERYBODY! Morning and mid-day shows are awful. Evening show can be alright from time to time but can't compete with Mikey Miss. 97.5 has new young blood. Jon Marks and the complainer Sean Brace are better already than the vets at WIP.

    Don't forget the daytime crew. Baldy and Mayes followed by Tony Bruno. 97.5 is so much better than IP.
    Ip also brought on Barkann. Just awful and not funny at all.

    No offense Ron Mexico but in my humble opinion those 2 guys shouldnt be within 50 miles of an on-air mic in a market as big as Philly.97.5 kind of butchered their oppurtunity to enter the market. They are pulling guys off the street and giving them on-air jobs in the 4th largest media market in the USA. No Way that can happen and the ratings verify that notion.

    As far as WIP? I like the fill in guys that arent overexposed.Hosts have been on that station up to 20 years 4-5 hours a day this is too much. Stale but somehow they keep chugging along.

    WIP is impossible to listen to. Mike and Ike? Oh boy oh boy. Angelo? Nothing like a transplanted never was to wake you up in the morning. Glen "Mr Movie" Macnow? Give the Tonner a break. Anthony "I pretend to be from souf Philly but I really grew up in Washington Twp" Gargano? A bigger phoney baloney you will not find. How could a station fire Eskin (or not fire, demote, whatever) and get worse? Only at WIP. If WIP was a horse, its owner would take it out and shoot it. Just one Tonner's opinion.

    Fishbowl has nothing to do with it. Who wants to listen to two guys talk about New York sports? Just another indication of how far WIP has fallen. Lange is a has-been and DiPaolo is a good stand up comedian who goes for the tasteless humor. Sports?

    When there was only one choice I was forced to listen to WIP but now with the Fanatic, I hardly ever listen to WIP.How does someone who blows as bad as Cataldi keep a morning drive show for over twenty years?This proves how bad morning radio in Philly is.

    well, if they are from New York they may have been exposed to an actual pro football franchise . . .
    that might give them a leg up on anyone around here.

    they might know a thing or two about pro baseball as well.

    or have seen a hockey team win a Cup in the last 35 years.

    the possibilities are endless.

    excluding the aberration of the 2008 Phillies, "philly sports" can be easily summarized.
    you don't have to be a native to recognize futility.

    Where I live I can hear NY and they are better in some ways and worse in others. WIP guys mostly come off like audience enemies. NY can get nasty, too, but it’s normally in response to an attack.
    The Eagles are winners and Reid could get a job elsewhere in a minute. Perfect, no. Very good, yes.
    Howie Rose better than LA and Scott? Really? WRONG. Even the NY guys make fun of Sterling. The Yankees media team is so tight they have permanent wedgies. The Mets TV team are knowledgeable but not entertaining over the whole season.
    Ray Didinger is world class knowledge wrapped in a guy next door demeanor.
    If your team has to win a championship every season for you to enjoy the sport or the season, you are going to be a very frustrated human being. Relax. Listen to LA try to find his coffee cup or remember who the players are or bait Scott. The world is demanding enough, right now. Breathe. Phillies vs. Yankees in days.

    I am surprised Cataldi is still there. I stopped listening to WIP because of Cataldi in 1995. I can't believe management hasn't replaced those old fossils and the ditzy blonde they had on with them. I think the dirtbag eagles fans take their cue from these lowlifes.

    I haven't listened to sports radio in a long time, but if I urn it on I can gurantee what they are saying:
    mnuel/reid/ (fill in the blank) needs to go.
    Rollins isn't a true leadoff hitter.
    Flyers have a chance at the cup
    Donovan McNabb sucks
    An NCAA basketball type elimination tournament - with candy bars or something idiotic.

    I am not pro WIP with all of it's faults, but The Fanatic is no better. As bad as Angelo is Mike & Mike are 10 times worse. Someone should tell those guys that the football season ended a month ago. Mike Miss is Eskin lite. He hasn't let a person with an opposing opinion finish his thought since his first year back. Sean Brace sounds like every wannabe I went to high school with. If only I could smack him around like I did them.

    If you want to listen to sports talk radio in this town, you have to pick your poison. WIP leaves a hell of a lot to be desired, but I'll take it over the fraud Missanelli any day. There's something really pathetic about a man in his mid fifties trying to act like he's a twenty-something with his professed love for the latest music, etc.

    Eskin is on for 2 hours saturday morning.. and Eagles sideline only the eagles are now on a number of bye weeks until July, so Eskin now becomes a part-time employee only....I was waiting to see him on some kind of national program, but I guess it fell through..

Scott Ferrall is also a good sports and comedy guy but wow I MUST LISTEN TO PHILLY SPORTS AND ONLY PHILLY SPORTS TALK. Eagle blow and so do the sixers get over it.

    I know the dearth of recent Philly sports championship trophies can be comical but I did not realize WIP has a late night host prerequisite for a comedy background. I believe Paul Jolovitz, Steve Trevelise, and Ed Gudonis (Big Daddy Graham) all have comedian backgrounds. I guess these Nick and Artie people comply with that condition, too. Heaven forbid they should hire sports talk hosts not having the perceived "entertainment" factor.

    WIP now has the Phillies for 94.1 on the FM dial. The Phillies get very high radio ratings. For 610 wip, programmers decided to take a chance with 'Nick and Artie' because 1210 already carries the Phillies on the AM dial (a sister station on WIP). There isn't much risk adding Nick and Artie since WIP now has the Phillies.

    WIP with all four team play-by-play radio broadcasts generates monster ad revenues, and huge ratings with the Eagles and Phillies. 97.5 does not generate anywhere close to the ad revenue WIP does.

    I bet these dopes know more about Philly sports than the mongoloids who thought the eagles should draft Ricky Williams, or said the phillies would never win a championship because Chollie couldn't execute a double switch.

    Jim Fregosi was right about WIP and everybody that listens to it.
