Audacy Country “Y108” WDSY Pittsburgh has tabbed Chris Mack as its new afternoon host.
Mack most recently has been serving in a digital and fill-in capacity for co-owned Sports “93.7 The Fan” KDKA-FM after previously co-hosting mornings from 2018 until last May. 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.

OK, many compliments to give, but first I really do have to say, they really are slashing nighttime talent in almost every market, not exclusive to that company for sure, everyone’s doing it, but still unfortunate. Now the good stuff, I remember his audition shift overnight on B 94. I haven’t talk to him since K rock, but it’s really cool to watch his career bloom, and from my vantage point, if you’re going to compete with the legendary Kasper, he’s at least qualified enough to do it. Cool to see him back in music radio again!
