94WIP (Sports Radio)/Philadlphia afternoon host Jon Marks will exit the Audacy outlet after seven years. His final show is set for Wednesday, December 20. Marks originally joined WIP in 2017 for 6-10pm from Beasley Media crosstown rival WPEN-FM (97.5 The Fanatic). He move to afternoons with former NFL linebacker Ike Reese following the departure of Chris Carlin.

"Over the last year plus, I've been doing a lot of thinking about my future here at WIP. These are conversations I've had with management, with Rod Lakin and David Yadgaroff, even with (Reese)... It came time where I needed to make a commitment to the show and the station as opposed to going year to year, which is what I've been doing the last couple of years. And as great as the show is, everything kept coming back to the hours that I'm working," said Reese.

"The station and show deserve the commitment from somebody. It was a difficult decision and something I internally wrestled with for a really long time. And after talking to management and talking with you... I made the difficult decision to leave the Marks & Reese show and WIP... It's a very difficult decision," added Reese.
