There’s a new alternative station in South Florida. 104.3 The Ticket in Miami, which has been a simulcast of sports station 790 The Ticket, is flipping to 104.3 The Shark. Sports talk will remain exclusively on the AM band.
The new alternative station will be programmed by John O’Connell who spent years as OM/PD at 103.1 The Buzz in West Palm Beach. He was most recently PD at CBS Radio’s sports stations 98.7 The Fan and CBS Sports Radio 1010 in Tampa.

Prior to its arrival, JB served as a sports radio programmer, launching brands such as 95.7 The Game in San Francisco, and 101 ESPN in St. Louis. He also spent time programming SportsTalk 950 in Philadelphia, 590 The Fan KFNS in St. Louis, and ESPN 1340/1390 in Poughkeepsie, NY.
