Howard Eskin banned from Citizens Bank Park for remainder of Phillies season – NBC10 Philadelphia

Longtime Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskins has been suspended from attending Citizen’s Bank Park for the remainder of the Phillies’ season for giving an Aramark employee an “unwanted kiss,” according to Audacy.

Eskins, 73, is a presenter at sports radio station 94 WIP and Audacy is the station’s parent company.

“We learned of an unwanted kiss by Howard Eskin toward an Aramark employee at Citizens Bank Park. We take these matters very seriously. We immediately investigated the matter and took action to resolve the matter,” Audacy said in a statement.

According to a source familiar with the investigation, the incident occurred in May.

Audacy investigated the matter along with Aramark and the Phillies.

“The Phillies take these allegations very seriously. We have worked with our partners at Audacy and Aramark in 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 our top priority and when we learned that an Aramark employee had been subjected to unwanted advances by an Audacy employee, we immediately launched an investigation that confirmed the allegations,” Aramark said in a statement.

Eskin has been a fixture in the Philadelphia sports world since the 1980s. He has broadcast on both radio and television, including for WCAU, and has worked at WIP since 1986.

A source told NBC10 that Eskin will remain on the air during his regular Saturday morning radio schedule.

NBC10 has reached out to Eskin for comment but has not yet received a response.
