Hubbard Radio is expanding its weekday lineup in South Florida with the addition of a new locally focused sports show. FOX Sports South Florida 640AM will debut JC & Ken, a one-hour weekday program featuring Josh Cohen and Ken LaVicka. The show will air from 5–6 p.m. beginning Monday, January 5. The goal is targeting afternoon drive listeners across Palm Beach County and surrounding areas.
The move reunites two personalities familiar to South Florida sports fans. This is especially true for listeners who spent years with ESPN 106.3 and its predecessor stations. Cohen led the popular HomeTeam program from 1999 through the end of 2024. During that time, he became one of the most recognizable sports radio voices in the region.
Following his departure, Cohen transitioned to digital platforms, launching the YouTube-based show Questionable Call with Josh Cohen.
LaVicka also brings deep local ties and on-air experience. He worked at WUUB from 2007 to 2024 as both a host and reporter. LaVicka currently serves as the play-by-play voice for Florida Atlantic University football and men’s basketball. In addition, LaVicka handles play-by-play duties for Inter Miami CF soccer and hosts the Sports & Golf Boardroom program on WMEN.
According to Cohen, the new FOX Sports South Florida show is designed to recapture a familiar sound for listeners during their evening commute.
“I hear from tons of people who say they miss having something fun, fast, and familiar to just listen to on their drive home,” Cohen said in a statement. “JC & Ken will take care of that five days a week, with no need to catch up on anything.”
FOX Sports South Florida leadership emphasized the importance of local voices and community connection as the primary motivation behind the launch.
“Josh and Ken have been well-known figures in the South Florida sports scene for many years,” said Hubbard Radio Market President Elizabeth Hanna. “We are thrilled to bring this LOCAL radio show to the market. Offering sports fans in our area a place for connection and conversation.”
FOX Sports South Florida Brand and Content Director David Adams echoed that sentiment, highlighting the chemistry and versatility the duo brings to the lineup.
“Josh & Ken are two of the best known and most respected voices in our community,” Adams said. “I couldn’t be more excited to add them to the Fox Sports South Florida lineup. JC & Ken is an entertaining, engaging, and often off-the-rails daily dive into the biggest news and best stories of the day. With occasional surprise guests from the worlds of sports, entertainment, and media.”
