Dawn Extends To Middays At WPHT/Philly
• Dawn Stensland, longtime Philadelphia TV news anchor and current morning drive co-host of The Rich Zeoli Show since 2015 on Audacy’s WPHT-AM (Talk Radio 1210)/Philadelphia is expanding her on-air presence with the addition of a new solo show weekdays from 10am-noon, starting Sept. 7.
“We’re excited to grow Dawn’s role with the station with the launch of her new midday show, where she will speak with top local newsmakers for in-depth analysis of stories that affect the Philadelphia region,” said David Yadgaroff, SVP/Market Manager, Audacy Philadelphia. “Dawn’s show, along with an extra hour of Rich Zeoli, and Dom Giordano‘s new program time extends our local content to nine hours, which allows us to best serve our local listeners, while continuing to deliver some of the biggest names on the national stage.”
“I’m grateful to Rich Zeoli and his ‘army’ of loyal listeners for believing in me since I joined the show six years ago,” said Stensland. “I’m so proud to work with Audacy and I’m also so thankful for their commitment to showcase a diverse collection of local voices as we engage with people across our region about the issues of the day and the news that impacts us here at home.”
WPHT also announced the return of Matt Desantis as Producer of Stensland’s new midday show. Desantis joined the company as an intern in 2011 and grew into other programming positions before he was admitted to Harvard University in 2018.
