Fillar Named AM Co-Anchor, WWJ/Detroit
• Chris Fillar has been named as the new morning show co-anchor on Audacy’s WWJ (Newsradio 950)/Detroit, now sitting alongside Jackie Paige weekdays from 5-10am ET.
“We are excited to have Chris bring his passion and energy to the morning show,” said Debbie Kenyon, SVP/Market Manager, Audacy Detroit. “Chris and Jackie are a powerful team, and we’re confident they’ll make an impact every morning while connecting with our listeners.”
It’s a big move upward for Fillar, who has been delivering sports updates for WWJ Newsradio 950 and Sports-Talk sister WXYT (97.1 The Ticket) since 2018. He originally joined Audacy in 2011 as a host and producer at WKRK (92.3 The Fan)/Cleveland, and the first 15 years of his radio career were spent with Clear Channel in Parkersburg, WV as Sports Director for the cluster and PD of Top 40 WRVB (102.1 The River).
“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!”
