Overview

  • Kaney announced on social media Wednesday that she is leaving Philadelphia to cover the Chicago Bears for Fox 32 and will also do sports anchoring for the station.
  • She is stepping into the role vacated when Cassie Carlson was promoted to Fox 32’s lead sports anchor.
  • Kaney was laid off from 94.1 WIP in April as part of company-wide cuts by parent company Audacy after serving as WIP’s Eagles sideline reporter during the team’s Super Bowl run.
  • WIP has not named a replacement for Kaney on Eagles coverage, leaving the station short of a sideline reporter with the team’s preseason opener only weeks away.
  • Kaney said she will continue to host the Phillies podcast 'Werth Talking About' with Jayson Werth, illustrating how on-air talent can keep personal projects while changing markets.
