WIP/Philadelphia Adds Sixers Coverage, Including 'Rights To Ricky Sanchez Radio,' Liberty Ballers Partnership

Down With TTP

The popular "RIGHTS TO RICKY SANCHEZ" podcast co-hosted by PD SPIKE ESKIN is among the additions to CBS RADIO Sports WIP/PHILADELPHIA as the station beefs up its PHILADELPHIA 76ERS coverage in advance of the team's highly-anticipated 2017-18 season.

As "The Process" moves into a new phase with the addition of MARKELLE FULTZ and the year-delayed debut of BEN SIMMONS along with the oft-injured JOEL EMBIID, WIP is adding veteran SIXERS writer DEREK BODNER, now at THE ATHLETIC, as an on-air contributor and is partnering with the LIBERTY BALLERS website including a one-hour "LIBERTY BALLERS LIVE" radio show with JON MARKS and LIBERTY BALLERS Editor-in-Chief KYLE NEUBECK and content and link sharing. 

ESKIN and TV comedy writer MIKE LEVIN's "RIGHTS TO RICKY SANCHEZ" podcast, which became the virtual gathering place for the rabid fans supporting "The Process", will become a weekly show on WIP starting SEPTEMBER 20th at 6p (ET) and adding MARKS as co-host.  And MARKS will host "THE PROCESS PREGAME SHOW," "GAME TIME REACT," "THE PROCESS HALFTIME SHOW," and "THE PROCESS POST-GAME SHOW" before, during, and after each SIXERS game (the station does not carry game coverage, which airs on crosstown BEASLEY Sports WPEN (97.5 THE FANATIC; when games conflict with EAGLES game coverage, the shows will air via Facebook Live)).

ESKIN said, “With the SIXERS ready to take the next step on the court, we’re proud that WIP is taking the next step in covering the team. With JON MARKS, DEREK BODNER of THE ATHLETIC, LIBERTY BALLERS, and RIGHTS TO RICKY SANCHEZ RADIO as a complement to our air staff, we’re offering PHILLY fans a new and exciting outlet to engage around one of their favorite teams.”
