ESPN West Palm In Radio Ratings

     ESPN West Palm 106.3 WESP-AM appeared in the radio ratings for the first time ever on Thursday. They were listed and finished in first place among three local sports talk format radio stations in the West Palm Beach region.

     Good Karma Brands made a decision to register all of their radio stations throughout the United States with a radio ratings service for April 2026. Their radio stations are located in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, West Palm Beach, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Madison. 

     Good Karma Brands had not registered a West Palm Beach radio station with a ratings service since February 2012. The last time it was done by them was when they were known as Good Karma Broadcasting with ESPN Radio 760 WEFL-AM. 

Rece Hinds Traded To Marlins

     The Miami Marlins have acquired outfielder Rece Hinds from the Cincinnati Reds. The Marlins have sent him down to their Triple-A affiliate in Jacksonville. 

     Hinds has played the past three seasons with the Reds. He compiled seven home runs, 19 runs batted in and a .172 batting average in 51 games with Cincinnati. 

West Palm Beach Ratings April 2026

     The ratings were released for sports talk format radio stations in the West Palm Beach area. The time span went from the first week of April to the final week of April.

     The biggest shock was that ESPN West Palm 106.3 WESP-AM was registered and listed in a ratings report for the first time ever. They ended up with a 0.6 in the ratings and finished in first place among the three local competitors. The last time a Good Karma Brands sports radio station in West Palm Beach appeared in the ratings book was ESPN Radio 760 WEFL-AM in February 2012. 

     ESPN West Palm became the West Palm Beach affiliate of the Miami Marlins Radio Network in March. WESP-AM is the flagship station of Inter Miami CF as the defending MLS Cup champions began their 2026 season with a 5-1-4 record. The Florida Panthers concluded their season as the reigning two-time Stanley Cup champions and failed to reach the postseason for the first time since 2018-19. The Miami Heat got to the NBA Play-In Tournament and lost to the Charlotte Hornets. The radio station has a couple of local weekday shows which includes Colin Russo and Mike Rizzo hosting afternoon drive along with Theo Dorsey. Christian Katt and Tina Costanza co-hosting a mid-afternoon program. 

     Fox Sports 640 South Florida WMEN-AM moved up from a 0.2 to a 0.3 in the month. The recent addition of an afternoon show with Ken LaVicka and Josh Cohen in January has started to make an impact. 

     Sports Radio 1230 The Gambler WBZT-AM shifted from a 0.2 to a 0.0 in the period. The radio station had no play-by-play game broadcasts after they lost the radio affiliate rights to Miami Marlins contests earlier this year.

Sabres Extend Lindy Ruff

     The Buffalo Sabres have extended the contract of head coach Lindy Ruff for another two years. He led his team to the Atlantic Division title this season and ended a 15-year postseason drought. 

     Ruff was an assistant coach of the Florida Panthers during their first four seasons in franchise history from 1993-94 to 1996-97. He was named the Sabres head coach prior to the 1997-98 campaign to start his first coaching stint with that club.
