The cat is out of the bag. SportsRadio 94WIP has confirmed they’re adding Jon Marks to their on-air lineup.
The former member of 97.5 The Fanatic will host weeknights 6p-10p ET starting Tuesday, February 7th. He’ll also anchor week-day Phillies pre-game and post-game coverage, provide content for CBSPhilly.com and contribute to WIP’s daytime lineup.
“Jon’s talent, relationship to Philadelphia sports fans, and history in the marketplace will be a huge addition to WIP. We’re thrilled to have him aboard,” said Spike Eskin, Program Director of WIP.
Marks added, “It’s an exciting time in Philadelphia sports and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be in charge of the airwaves every night on WIP. I’d like to thank Spike and David [Market Manager David Yadgaroff] for this opportunity. I can’t wait to get started.”
Marks was with The Fanatic from 2006-2016. He had served in multiple roles, including producing Mike Missanelli, hosting middays with Sean Brace, and working as an on-air contributor to Anthony Gargano’s morning show.
With Marks signing on, WIP has announced that Brian “Sludge” Haddad will stay with the radio station in the role of Creative Services Director.
