Concurrently, morning host Rich Zeoli will now host afternoons from 3-7pm ET. All changes are effective October 3.

"For the first time ever, WPHT will be live and local from 6am to 7pm, which further cements this fan favorite as the voice of Philadelphia and a reliable destination for our listeners," said Audacy Philadelphia Senior Vice President and Market Manager David Yadgaroff.
