Philly Radio: Ashlyn Sullivan Joins Sports Radio 94 WIP


NBC Sports Philadelphia's Ashlyn Sullivan is jumping into sports talk radio, joining SportsRadio 94 WIP as a part-time host, Philly Business Journal reports.

Sullivan, the host of "Flyers Pregame Live" and "Flyers Postgame Live" on NBC Sports Philadelphia, 

will make her WIP debut from 6 to 10 p.m. Wednesday with co-host Sean Bell, the station announced.

A WIP spokesperson said Sullivan doesn’t have a set schedule and will fill in as needed.

“SO excited to get started!! Being on sports talk radio in the best sports city in the country is a dream - thankful for the opportunity,” Sullivan said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

In addition to the Flyers pregame and postgame shows, Sullivan contributes to NBC Sports Philadelphia Eagles coverage. She co-hosts the "Birds Huddle" talk show and provides game day reporting for Eagles coverage.

The addition of Sullivan comes a week after SportsRadio 94 WIP afternoon drive co-host Jon Marks left the station, with the longtime staffer saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.

Though Sullivan isn’t replacing Marks, her addition gives WIP more flexibility as the station decides who will fill his spot in the long-term. With WIP's daytime lineup largely set, Sullivan will likely see mostly night and weekend shifts.

Sullivan joined NBC Sports Philadelphia just over a year ago. She replaced former Flyers pregame and postgame host Taryn Hatcher, who moved into more of a utility role for the station.

Prior to her time at NBC Sports Philadelphia, Sullivan was the team reporter and producer for the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, hosting programming on the team’s website, local television affiliates and social media platforms. She was also the in-game video board reporter and in-studio host of a weekly TV show “Jaguars Weekend” seen on FOX30.

Sullivan spent time covering college athletics, soccer and golf, among other sports, and has appeared on CBS Sports Network, ESPN+, NFL Network and the Golf Channel.
