From 2017 to 2023 Marks co-hosted the Marks & Reese Show with Ike Reese on Audacy rival 94 WIP, and hosted the syndicated Jon Marks Show on CBS Sports Radio.

“I’m beyond excited for this opportunity,” said Marks. “Philadelphia is the best sports city in the country, and the fans here are as passionate as they come. To be able to talk sports with them every day in this new time slot is an honor, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy and passion to middays on The Fanatic.”
