Mack most recently has been serving in a digital and fill-in capacity for co-owned Sports “93.7 The Fan (https://www.audacy.com/937thefan)” KDKA-FM after previously co-hosting mornings from 2018 until last May (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/252861/93-7-the-fan-pittsburgh-making-morning-change/). Mack joined the KDKA-FM morning show in 2018 after previously serving as a fill-in host and pre and post-game host for the station?s Pittsburgh Pirates coverage from 2014-18. He also hosts a show for Audacy’s BetQL Sports Betting network.
Mack began his career in State College PA as evening host on CHR “Beaver 103” WBHV and “Hot 107.9” WJHT before spending a year at “Hot 96.3” WRHT New Bern NC as night host and APD/afternoon host. He would join CHR “B94” WBZZ in 2003 as a weekend/fill-in host before rising to overnight and midday host following its flip to Rock “93.7 K-Rock” WRKZ in 2004. Mack then spent five years co-hosting middays at Sports “ESPN 1250” WEAE from 2006-10.
Mack takes the afternoon slot at WDSY that had been held by Tom ?Cadillac Jack? Kapsalis until his exit earlier this month (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/263026/cadillac-jack-exits-y108-pittsburgh/).
