Philly Radio: New Deal, New Role For Glen Macnow

Glen Macnow 

Veteran radio voice Glen Macnow, who left his afternoon gig alongside Anthony Gargano earlier this month in a contract dispute, reached an agreement that will keep him at WIP, station-owner CBS Radio announced today, according to philly.com.

Macnow will continue to host his long-running Saturday midday show with Ray Didinger, and will appear on other CBS-owned area stations.

The release did not mention a return to his weekday afternoon spot with Gargano and industry sources told philly.com that Gargano will instead partner with Rob Eillis, with that announcement expected soon.

“I’m pleased we have reached an agreement with Glen that supports his relationship with WIP, and also allows us to increase his presence within the CBS RADIO Philly family of stations,” said Marc Rayfield, Senior Vice President and Market Manager for CBS RADIO Philadelphia. “Being able to use his expertise across more of our platforms is a real win for our stations, the listeners and Philadelphia’s passionate sports fan base.”

Beginning in January 2014, Macnow will be heard on KYW Newsradio 1060’s afternoon broadcast of the “Reporter’s Roundup,” and, during football season, with Harry Donahue on the station’s morning show.

He’ll also be featured during the pre- and post-game Phillies shows on WPHT and will contribute to CBSPhilly.com.
