WPBF-TV Adds Sportscasts

     WPBF-TV Channel 25 in West Palm Beach debuted sportscasts for their news programs back on August 2. The sports staff consists of sports director/weekday sports anchor Shayne Wright along with weekday sports reporter/weekend sports anchor Yianni Kourakis. 

     Wright has worked at WPBF-TV for many years as a news anchor and news reporter. He started his broadcasting career as a sportscaster back in 2007. Kourakis, a University of Maryland grad, was the sports director and sportscaster at WPRO-TV in Providence for the past eight years until July. 

      The new WPBF-TV sports department was put in place back in July. It has been quite a while for them to have sportscasts on that television station. Jim Abath was their lead sports anchor over a decade ago.
