Overview
- Devan Kaney anchored her final Fox 29 sportscast on June 22 and said she is moving to a yet-to-be-named job in a larger media market.
- Kaney told reporters she will not return as the Eagles sideline reporter and plans to cover a different NFL franchise going forward.
- She was laid off from 94.1 WIP in March as part of national cuts by parent company Audacy, a move that preceded her TV departure.
- Fox 29 is shifting duties on its sports desk and has given former 6abc sportscaster Jamie Apody an expanded role to fill part of Kaney’s on-air work.
- Kaney will continue local baseball coverage by co-hosting the PHLY podcast Werth Talking About with Jayson Werth, and her exit highlights how recent cost cuts are reshaping multi-platform sports reporting in Philadelphia.
