Missanelli apologizes for profanity on Fox29

POSTED: Wednesday, March 9, 2011, 10:55 PM

Sports-talk host Mike Missanelli apologized on Fox29’s late newscast Wednesday for letting loose with profanity on the TV station during the newscast around dinnertime.

Missanelli, whose radio show airs on 97.5 the Fanatic, wrapped a TV segment from his studio with Fox anchor Thomas Drayton.

The camera had just cut away when he became upset about the volume of his monitor.

He spouted two of the seven words you can't say on television before Fox realized the mic was live.

Missanelli said he didn’t know that he was on the air. His radio show was in commercial at the time.

    I don't like Missanelli on radio or TV. He's as phony as a three dollar bill. Fox should make Anthony Gargano the regular sports guy on their 10 P.M. show.

    Afterwards, Mike celebrated with close friends and Rickey Watters @ the 8th Floor. Derrick Coleman bought champagne for the crew.
    Joey M was not in attendance.

    He's a radio guy doing a radio show, it should be safe to ASSume he was in a break. No harm, no foul.

    Mike Miss has spent the last decade insisting that he is not quite as big an a$-h*!e as Howard Eskin. He may be right, but he is an awfully close second.

    Hey section707, you probably remember that NOBODY ever plowed Angelo.
    He is a barren pasture.

    I'm sensing a pattern here..didn't Mike Miss get fired from the other radio station because a technical difficulty at the station led to an argument where he ended up punching a guy? Mike...on any given show , you are what's known as the "talent"; you'll be judged on content, the tech stuff is someone else's problem, they don't expect you to know much of anything about that type of stuff, so if there's an issue.. LET IT GO!
