Long time Howard Eskins, a Philadelphia sports radio broadcaster, has been prohibited from Citizen’s Bank Park for the remainder of the Phillies season for a “unwelcome kiss” toward an Aramark employee, according to Audacy.
Eskins, 73, is a sports radio host on 94 WIP, whose parent company is Audacy.
“We learned that Howard Eskin gave an unpleasant kiss to an Aramark employee at Citizens Bank Park. We take these problems extremely seriously. “We immediately investigated and addressed the issue,” Audacy stated in a statement.
According to a source familiar with the investigation, the incident occurred in May.
Audacy, Aramark, and the Phillies all investigated the incident.
“The Phillies take these charges extremely seriously. We assisted our partners at Audacy and Aramark with their investigations. “We support Audacy’s decision to suspend Howard Eskin from Citizens Bank Park,” the Phillies said in a statement to NBC10.
“The safety of our employees is paramount, and when we learned that an Aramark employee had been subjected to an unwanted advance by an Audacy employee, we immediately began an investigation, which corroborated the allegations,” the statement added.
Eskin has been a mainstay in Philadelphia’s sports scene since the 1980s. He has broadcast on both radio and television, including WCAU. He has worked with WIP since 1986.
According to an NBC10 source, Eskin will continue to appear on the radio during his regular Saturday morning time slot.
NBC10 reached out to Eskin for comment but has yet to hear back.
