McDonald, who is in his mid-40s, joined the station when it went to sports in October 2005. He previously worked for ESPN and sports talkers WFAN in New York and now-rival WIP in Philadelphia.
Station management would not talk about McDonald or his condition. A call to McDonald was not returned.
Michael Bradley has been substituting for McDonald.
