Less Radio High School Football Games

     There will be a less amount of high school football broadcasts on the radio in South Florida this year compared to previous seasons. Several local radio stations that the audience had listened to high school football on a consistent basis will not broadcast games this season.
     Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM stopped its run of high school football games for the first time since 20l0. The purchase of the radio station by CBS Radio from Beasley Broadcasting had something to do with it. The South Florida High School Football Show did have an agreement with WQAM to broadcast games.
     Another station that has broadcast high school football games for several decades will not be doing it this year. Mike Dee had announced the Glades Central Raiders and Pahokee Blue Devils on Sugar 900 WSWN-AM in Belle Glade. The main reason was the station was acquired by JVC Broadcasting during the middle of the 20l4 high school football season.
     Good Karma Broadcasting will have high school football for the sixth consecutive year. ESPN Radio l06.3 WUUB-FM have the full slate of Oxbridge Academy regular season games in 20l5 with Jeremy Marks-Peltz as the play-by-play announcer.
     The amount of radio stations that announced high school football games has dropped from five in 20ll to just one this year. Back in 20ll there were Broward County and Dade County games on WQAM with Mike Levine, Mike Dee had Glades Central and Pahokee football games on Sugar 900, Palm Beach County and St. Lucie County football games with Ken LaVicka on ESPN Radio 760 WEFL-AM, Dwyer football games with Ric Blackwell on 960 WSVU-AM and Broward County football games with Erik Lengyel on l470 WWNN-AM.
