Hanging It Up in SoFlo

After 40 years in the business, more than half of them at WSVN (Miami), Sports Director Steve Shapiro is calling it a career.

Shapiro landed his job at WSVN in 1997 at the age of 42.

“It’s just been the best,” Shapiro said. “I can’t imagine anything else I would have preferred to do or what I would have been better at than what I’ve been doing for the last 40 years in television news. It’s been the best.”

“I’ll miss being at the big events,” Shapiro said. “I’ll miss being at the places everybody wants to be, and I’m getting paid to be: the NBA Finals, Super Bowls, the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, bowl games, the thump, the heartbeat of the big event. That’s for sure is what I’ll miss the most.”
