Former South Florida sports host Anita Marks has joined ESPN New York WEPN-FM in New York City as a Sunday midday host and weekday sports anchor. She will begin her new position on May 17. Marks is leaving NBC Sports Radio Network where she has been the weekend midday host since the network launched in January 2013.
Marks, a Miami native, was a quarterback in the Women's Professional Football League from 2000 until 2004. She began her broadcasting career as an intern and sports producer at WFOR-TV Channel 4. She then joined 940 Fox Sports Radio WRFX-AM as a morning co-host with Carl Foster. Both of them went to 1400 The Fan WFLL-AM when it flipped to a sports talk format in April 2004. She moved to the afternoon shift in early 2006 and held it for several months. Marks left 1400 The Fan in May 2006 one month before the station changed its format again.
She joined ESPN 1300 WJFK-AM in Baltimore as an afternoon host. She gained Scott Garceau as a co-host when the show was moved to sister-station 105.7 The Fan WJZ-FM. It was later picked up for a television simulcast on Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. Her last show on that station was in January 2010.
Marks returned to Miami in February 2010 when she and Curtis Stevenson replaced Jim Mandich as the afternoon co-hosts on Sports Radio 560 WQAM. The show just lasted for a couple of months and she was let go in June 2010. She got a national platform for the first time as a sideline reporter for United Football League broadcasts on Versus from 2009 to 2010.
This led to a career jump to the New York City media market where she has held several positions. She was named a reporter for New York Giants.com then added duties at Sirius XM Radio as a sports reporter, NFL channel sportscaster and a fantasy football afternoon show co-host. Marks also did television work for MSG Network as a studio co-host for the New York Giants weekly football show.
She later became the studio co-host for pregame and post-game shows on the New York Giants Radio Network. Their flagship station, Sports Radio 66 WFAN-AM hired her to occasionally host weekend and late night shows in 2012. Marks was a studio host on CBS Sports Network for That Other Pregame Show in 2014.
