As the future of the 6ABC sports department remains unknown, there are two news people in-house who might be considered, reporter Chad Pradelli and weekend news anchor Walter Perez.
In the past, both have filled in when the sports department was short-handed. Of the two, I could see Pradelli in a permanent sports role.
I’m guessing a decision will have to be made before Eagles’ season, since 6ABC airs Football Frenzy during the football season.

Rumors are circulating that Howard Eskin would be intrested in returning to anchor local TV Sports……….

Bwah, hah….on channel 6? Um, no. Slightly better chance that I’d get the job.

At this time it is difficult to speculate who will be the sports director at WPVI. If you follow past
hiring experiences at WPVI they always promote from within. ie. Gary Papa succeeded Don Tollefson. Don Tollefson succeeded Joe Pellegrino. I am certain an announcement will be made by Labor Day and the opening of the 6 & ll will change from its present no name introductions.

Eskin would never be hired by PVI. He’s like a T.O. plus ratings for his radio show are down.
