Honored to receive the ABBY Award of Merit for Television Podcast!

Southeast Sports Plus began as a simple idea—to cover the conference we know and love alongside great friends and colleagues—and it’s incredible to see how far it’s come!

This wouldn’t be possible without Simone Eli and the continued support from our WKRG leadership: General Manager Jesse Grear and News Director Gene Kirkconnell. Huge credit to Patrick Walsh, the driving force, who consistently brings great ideas to life!

Thank you to the Alabama Broadcasters Association for the recognition, and a big shoutout to our WKRG teammates WKRG Taylor Boysen and Jason Garcia on your well-deserved honor! Truly thankful for the team and the journey!
