Jon Marks Moves To Afternoon Co-Host Slot, Joe Giglio To Evenings At WIP/Philadelphia

Marks Up

With afternoon co-host CHRIS CARLIN heading north back to sister CBS RADIO Sports WFAN-A-F/NEW YORK to replace MIKE FRANCESA on that station's afternoon show (see separate story), Sports WIP/PHILADELPHIA is moving evening host JON MARKS to CARLIN's afternoon slot alongside IKE REESE to replace CARLIN.  Filling MARKS' 6-10p (ET) slot will be JOE GIGLIO, moving up from part-time.  The changes take place THURSDAY (11/16).

“I’m really excited to be part of the station I grew up listening to,” said MARKS. “I’m thrilled to be able to work alongside IKE REESE, a guy I admired on the football field and have such respect for as a radio host. What a great time to get started as the EAGLES and CARSON WENTZ have their eyes on the SUPER BOWl."         
 
“We’re lucky to have JON MARKS here and moving into afternoons on WIP. He’s honed his craft and worked for this for a long time, and we’re excited to have him team with Ike and take us into the future. He’s the real deal,” said PD SPIKE ESKIN.  “Having JOE GIGLIO in evenings gives us a guy who is smart, informed, funny and has a fantastic work ethic. I’m glad we can finally give JOE the chance he deserves to shine on a nightly basis.”           
 
GIGLIO added, “It's an incredible time to be around rising teams and great stories in PHILADELPHIA sports, and I couldn't be more excited to talk to the most passionate fans in the country on a nightly basis. In my four years at WIP, I've worked every shift and with every show. I'm now thrilled at the opportunity to be a full-time member of the station, and want to thank SPIKE and (Market Manager) DAVID YADGAROFF for this opportunity.”

CARLIN is already off the WIP airwaves, saying his goodbyes at the beginning of TODAY's show.  GLEN MACNOW is sitting in with REESE for the rest of TUESDAY's show.
