WWJ Newsradio 950 has announced the appointment of Chris Fillar as its new morning co-anchor, where he’ll serve alongside Jackie Paige.
Fillar has been with the station since 2018, where he has worked as a sports update anchor. He additionally provided updates on sister station 97.1 The Ticket.
He originally joined Audacy as a producer at sports talk station 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland in 2011.
“I’m ecstatic to take on this new role alongside Jackie and the entire fantastic morning newsroom at WWJ,” said Fillar. “It’s an honor to wake up and deliver trusted news to our listeners, and I’m humbled to work with such a great team!”
“We are excited to have Chris bring his passion and energy to the morning show,” added Audacy Detroit Senior Vice President and Market Manager Debbie Kenyon. “Chris and Jackie are a powerful team, and we’re confident they’ll make an impact every morning while connecting with our listeners.”
Fillar and Paige will anchor weekday mornings from 5-10 AM on the Detroit all-news station. Chris Fillar had been working in the daypart at WWJ Newsradio 950 on an interim basis since Jonathan Carlson exited the timeslot.
