Missanelli spent 15 years as a rating leader with 97.5 the Fanatic’s drive time slot, before recently leaving the station.  

The experienced radio host was previously a sports journalist in the City of Brotherly Love for The Philadelphia Inquirer, a TV sports anchor for PHL 17 and a radio host for 610 WIP. 

Beginning 8 September 2022, Missanelli will record two weekly podcasts that will be broadcast on the BetRivers Network, alongside other major podcast platforms. 

Missanelli will also represent BetRivers on multiple shows both within and outside the sportsbook’s network. This will include appearances on commercials across radio, TV and other digital mediums. 

He will also hold meet & greets at select sporting events throughout Philadelphia.  

Missanelli said: "Joining the BetRivers team lets me share my love for Philadelphia sports in new ways and I look forward to providing my insights to bettors at BetRivers here in my home state and RSI markets throughout the country." 

Rush Street CEO Richard Schwartz added: "Mike Missanelli is an icon in the world of covering the Philadelphia sports scene and we are excited to have him join our BetRivers family of Brand Ambassadors and podcast hosts. 

"We know bettors are going to love his passionate personality and seasoned sports tips which in turn will make their betting experiences on BetRivers.com even more rewarding and fun." 

Recently, Rush Street introduced the BetRivers sportsbook in West Virginia.
