Carl Foster And Anita Marks On Local Radio

     Carl Foster and Anita Marks returned to South Florida radio last week on Miami Sports 940 WINZ-AM. Foster is hosting the mid-afternoon shift and Marks is joining the program as a co-host on Mondays and Fridays. The show takes the spot on the station that Andy Slater held until this past July.
     Foster was a Cleveland television sportscaster earlier in his broadcasting career. He has had numerous radio stints in South Florida over the past 20 years.
     He hosted an evening sports show on WDJA-AM for several years. Foster joined WAXY-AM as a morning host in 2001 and stayed there until December 2001. He first teamed up with Marks on a morning program at Fox Sports Radio 940 WRFX-AM from January 2002 until 2004.
     Foster and Marks moved their program to 1400 The Fan WFLL-AM in April 2004. He also became the program director and general manager at that station. Foster stepped back from an on-air role in early 2006. He kept his two management positions until WFLL flipped its format from sports talk in June 2006. Foster was an afternoon drive talk host and Monday midday sports host from August 2008 until September 2018 at WYBP-FM in Fort Lauderdale.
     Marks, a Miami native, played quarterback in the Women's Professional Football League from 2000 to 2004. Her broadcasting career began as an intern and sports producer at WFOR-TV Channel 4. She joined Foster as the morning co-host on Fox Sports Radio 940 in 2002. Marks moved with Foster to 1400 The Fan in April 2004 and they teamed together for almost two years. Marks was given the afternoon show in early 2006 and left the station in May 2006.
     She was employed at ESPN 1300 WJFK-AM in Baltimore as their new afternoon host. She added Scott Garceau as an afternoon co-host when the program was placed on sister-station 105.7 The Fan WJZ-FM. It was later picked for a television simulcast on Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. Her last show on that station in January 2010.  During her tenure in Baltimore, she was a television sideline reporter for the United Football League on Versus in 2009 and 2010.
     Marks returned to Miami in February 2010 and had the tough task with Curtis Stevenson to replace Jim Mandich as the afternoon co-host on Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM. The show ended in June 2010 and they were replaced by Sid Rosenberg.
     She made the major career jump to New York City later that year and has held several positions there for the past eight years. She first began as a reporter at the New York Giants.com website. Marks then added roles as a sports reporter, NFL channel sportscaster and fantasy football afternoon co-host at SiriusXM Radio. She also did television work on MSG Network as a studio co-host for the New York Giants weekly football show.
     Marks received a great opportunity and became the pregame and postgame studio host for the New York Giants Radio Network. She returned to terrestrial radio in 2012 to occasionally host weekend and overnight shows on Sports Radio 66 WFAN-AM.
     She joined NBC Sports Radio Network when it launched in January 2013 as the weekend midday host and stayed there until May 2015. Marks landed at ESPN New York 98.7 WEPN-FM during May 2015 as a Sunday midday host and weekday sports anchor. She currently co-hosts a Sunday morning sports show, a fantasy football program. a golf podcast and fills in as a sports host at that station.
     Marks was a studio host on That Other Pregame Show at CBS Sports Network in 2014. She has been a part of ESPN fantasy football shows in the last couple of years.
