Jon Marks is making a run at the legacy that James Brown established as the hardest working man in show business! Jon is best known as the Producer and on-air sidekick of Mike Missanelli every weekday from 2:00 – 6:00 PM. Marksey’s a perfect compliment to Missanelli – always ready to needle Mikey Miss and provide a young guy’s perspective on what’s going on. But Marks’ role with the station goes well beyond just his work with Missanelli’s program. He is the conductor-extraordinaire of the Fanatic Hour and also hosts shows in a variety of timeslots on weeknights and on the weekends.
Marks’ path to 97.5 The Fanatic was a cross-country whirlwind during his 20s. He even lived for two years in Hawaii! But when all was said and done Marks knew he wanted to settle in the Philadelphia area and pursue a career in radio. It was a tough climb for Jon as it often is for people trying to break into radio, but his unbelievable work ethic and talent greatly accelerated his growth and made it a no-brainer for the radio station to keep giving Jon more and more responsibility. All of that has led to today with Jon as one of the most recognizable voices on the station.
