Devan Kaney is working as the sideline reporter for radio broadcasts of the Philadelphia Eagles on SportsRadio 94WIP for the remainder of the season, officially completing her first game in the role on Sunday. Kaney will work alongside play-by-play announcer Merrill Reese and color commentator Mike Quick as the Eagles prepare to compete for a Super Bowl championship in the NFL Playoffs. The station revealed the news on its pregame show on Sunday, and Kaney shared on social media that she was “excited and grateful for the opportunity to cover the Eagles sideline” ahead of the opening kickoff.
Kaney, who graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and received her master’s degree in broadcast journalism from American University, joined SportsRadio 94WIP two years ago. Throughout her time with Audacy, she has contributed to the morning drive program with Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie while also working as a betting analyst for the BetQL Network. Kaney was on the air last week co-hosting editions of the morning program alongside Tom Kelly
Kaney also works as a weekend sports anchor for FOX 29 News Philadelphia and an in-arena host for the Philadelphia Flyers. She formerly worked as a sideline reporter for NBC Sports, ESPN and the Philadelphia Wings, along with hosting at SuperBook Sports and Newsy. Moreover, Kaney also hosted the Eagles postgame show for JAKIB Media Sports for two seasons.
Kaney steps into the position previously held by Howard Eskin, who departed the station earlier in the month after being unable to resolve “irreconcilable differences.” Eskin helped launch the station’s sports talk format in 1986 and recently concluded a 38-run with the outlet. In an interview with Barrett Media, he expressed disappointment that he would be unable to finish the Eagles season on the sidelines, but he looks back on his days covering the team fondly and hopes to apply the knowledge elsewhere.
