Devan Kaney is leaving Fox 29 and Philly for a new gig, won’t be back for Eagles games
Kaney was open to returning to 94.1 WIP as Eagles sideline reporter, but now is moving on to cover a different team.
Devan Kaney is saying goodbye to Philadelphia, at least for now.
Kaney anchored her final Fox 29 sportscast over the weekend and and is leaving town for a yet-to-be-announced job opportunity in a bigger market. Though she hinted she would still appear on Fox’s airwaves.
“I’m so grateful for the support all of my colleagues at Fox 29 have given me during my time there, but especially in the last few months,” Kaney said.
Kaney was laid off at 94.1 WIP in March as part of the latest round of national cutbacks by parent company, Audacy. In addition to being an on-air host, Kaney served as the station’s sideline reporter during the Eagles’ 2025 Super Bowl run and all of last season, replacing the fired Howard Eskin.
It’s a role she won’t be returning to.
“As much as I would have loved to return as the sideline reporter, they never reached out,” Kaney said, “and I’ll be covering a different NFL franchise moving forward.”
Kaney had been with Fox 29 since 2023, serving as a part-time sports anchor and reporter. She also appeared on Good Day Philadelphia and featured prominently on the station’s Eagles coverage.
She’ll be replaced in part by former 6abc sportscaster Jamie Apody, who just landed an expanded role at Fox 29 and will anchor the station’s Saturday 10 p.m. newscast.
While Kaney will no longer be covering the Eagles, she will be covering the Phillies as part of a recently launched PHLY podcast she’s co-hosting with former All-Star Jayson Werth called Werth Talking About.
“I was absolutely not expecting Jayson Werth,” Kaney told The Inquirer earlier this month. “He’ll just drop the most insane stories, and it’s awesome to work with him.”
