94WIP Mornings: The Next Generation

• With the impending retirement of longtime morning personality Angelo Cataldi looming at the end of the Philadelphia Eagles’ current season, Audacy’s SportsRadio 94WIP/Philadelphia went right to its deep bench and announced the station’s current midday team of Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie will move up into morning drive in early 2023. They will be joined by longtime WIP morning anchor Rhea Hughes and the guys’ current midday producer James Seltzer. A new midday show will be announced in the coming months.

Rod Lakin, Brand Manager of SportsRadio 94WIP, remarked, “For the last three decades Angelo Cataldi set the standard for morning drive in Philadelphia and helped define the sports narrative of this great city. Joe and Jon, along with Rhea Hughes and the other talented members of the WIP morning show, will adhere to the standard that Angelo created and develop a connection with the Philadelphia sports audience for years to come.”

DeCamara (left), who launched his radio career at the mighty 1490 WBCB/Levittown, PA, noted, “I’m ecstatic for the opportunity to host mornings on WIP,” said DeCamara. “There is a remarkable tradition of success long established by the legend, Angelo, and the entire current morning team, and my aim is to continue to uphold that level of excellence. I feel a tremendous sense of gratitude to WIP and Audacy management, to Angelo, and to WIP listeners and callers whose intense passion drives the heartbeat of Philly sports. We look forward to assembling the full team that will comprise our show as we move to mornings. And I look forward to multiple parades down Broad Street over the next four months!”

Ritchie (right) is a veteran of seven NFL seasons, split between the Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles. Following his 2004 retirement, Ritchie moved into broadcasting. “I’m grateful and honored that Joe and I have the opportunity to follow in Angelo Cataldi’s footsteps on WIP’s morning show,” said Ritchie. “We’ll work hard to uphold the station’s tradition of emotional connection with the greatest sports fans in the world.”
