Devan Kaney is saying goodbye to Philadelphia, at least for now.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s airwaves. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 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,\u201d Kaney said. <\/p>\n
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\u2019s sideline reporter during the Eagles\u2019 2025 Super Bowl run<\/a> and all of last season, replacing the fired Howard Eskin<\/a>. <\/p>\n It\u2019s a role she won\u2019t be returning to. <\/p>\n \u201cAs much as I would have loved to return as the sideline reporter, they never reached out,\u201d Kaney said, \u201cand I\u2019ll be covering a different NFL franchise moving forward.\u201d <\/p>\n 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\u2019s Eagles coverage. <\/p>\n She\u2019ll be replaced in part by former 6abc sportscaster Jamie Apody, who just landed an expanded role at Fox 29<\/a> and will anchor the station\u2019s Saturday 10 p.m. newscast.<\/p>\n
