ESPN West Palm is celebrating 20 years of providing sports for fans and partners in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. Good Karma Brands (GKB) launched ESPN West Palm in 2003 (then on 760 AM). Today, it includes ESPN 106.3, Deportes Radio 760 AM, ESPN West Palm on WPTV-WFLX, the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, The High School "Top 63" Awards as well as other digital assets and events. Over the past two decades, ESPN West Palm recognized high school athletes, covered local teams, partnered with area businesses to help achieve their goals and gave back to the community.
ESPN West Palm Market Manager Stephanie Prince and Vice President at Good Karma Brands said, "Up until 2003, West Palm Beach was the largest market in the country without a sports radio station of its own. We are proud of the team, and the relationship we've established with our fans via the audio, event, coverage and digital platforms we have built. We are excited to celebrate and give back to the community by donating $20,000 to various local charities."
To kick off the 20th anniversary celebration, personalities throughout GKB who have impacted ESPN West Palm over the last 20 years will host a 20-hour broadcast beginning at midnight on Thursday, March 3. In addition to the broadcast on March 3rd, the major of West Palm Beach will proclaim Friday, ESPN West Palm Day, to recognize the station's impact in the town in which it operates.
Good Karma Brands President Steve Politziner said, "The success of ESPN West Palm is intimately tied to the passion of area sports fans, the talent and coverage team dedicated to serving them and the advertising partners who have successfully leveraged the assets to achieve their business goals. So many teammates throughout GKB started at ESPN West Palm and have carried their experiences, education and grit to other markets across GKB. We are excited to celebrate with our partners, fans and teammates on a great 20 years and look forward to the future."
