Everyday on the way home from work I listen to the radio station 94.1 WIP. It's station dedicated to Philadelphia sports talk. On my commute home, the afternoon show is on. It was co-hosted by Jon Marks and Ike Reese. On the way home this evening I learned the Jon is leaving the show so he can spend more time with his kids. That is a decision I respect a whole ton, but I am bummed out that he's leaving. Jon Marks had a great presence on the show and he always stuck to his guns. Even when a bunch of people who called into the show who would rag on him for having the unpopular sports take, he wouldn't just cave into public pressure. He was always very down to earth, very grounded, and very realistic in his commentary. I think leaving a position to spend more time with your children is as good of a reason as any to leave, but I'll still miss him. Jon helped to make WIP's afternoon show must-listen radio. My evening commutes won't be the same. Good bye, Jon, and thanks a million for making such a great show.
