His wife, Colleen Wolfe, used to be a sports anchor for Fox29 but moved to Los Angeles in 2014 to work for the NFL Network, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
Wolfe teased Gonzalez's move on Twitter earlier Thursday.
Hey John, big fan.

You should consider moving this operation to the west coast. https://t.co/kvolQdzLU3
You make a compelling argument https://t.co/7aFVVkNQm3

Nicknamed Gonzo from his Inquirer days, Gonzalez told Crossing Broad when he moves he'll do some freelance work initially and explore other opportunities.
Many in the local sports world wished him well on Twitter.
Shoutout and congrats to @gonzoCSN on going out west. Easily one of the nicest and most talented Philly media members out there. #💯
