Beasley names Pete Sheppard as the new afternoon co-host with Craig Shemon on Sports WWCN-FM (99.3 ESPN) Fort Myers-Naples. He began his new position on May 22. A 29-year broadcasting vet, Sheppard most recently worked at WEEI in Boston, where he served as a parttime fill-in air personality for various dayparts on the Sports outlet. In addition, he hosted NFL Sunday's 4-hour pre-game show for the New England Patriots, as well as provided an in depth look at the rest of the NFL.

"I am so excited to be part of the ESPN SWFL 99.3FM family and to be working afternoon drive from 2-6pm with Craig Shemon," said Sheppard. "Our show will be highly energetic, informative and entertaining."

"Pete Sheppard lacing up with Craig Shemon has just turned a great afternoon show into a major market heavy weight afternoon show overnight," added Operations Manager Adam Star. "I wouldn't be surprised if this new show was syndicated a year from now. Sherman and Sheppard are the real deal."

Previously Sheppard was part of the "The Big Show" in afternoon drive at WEEI Boston and also hosted "The Real Post Game Show" with former NFL players Fred Smerlas and Steve DeOssie for 11 years.
