This is a day many Philadelphians never thought they would see. February 20 is the first day in 33 years that the City of Brotherly Love has not started its day with the voice of Angelo Cataldi. Now, it is Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie leading the WIP Morning Show.
The duo started their new show on Monday by acknowledging that they are indeed taking over for a legend.
“We will certainly look to honor the legacy of Angelo with how we look to do the show for many years to come,” DeCamara told the audience to open the new show.
Angelo Cataldi hosted his final show on Friday.
Joe DeCamara says he knows this is a big change for some listeners. He hopes they can find enough familiarity with the new show that makes them want to stick around.
“Sure, it will be very different in certain ways, but Angelo had a very high standard of excellence,” he said. “We’re looking to do the best show for the audience and we shall strive to do a similar thing.”
Some pieces from the previous show are joining DeCamara and Richie on the new show. Rhea Hughes will stay on as a co-host. Joe Weachter is still the morning show producer.
