Meet Brent Martineau
Sports Director FOX30/CBS47
Brent is the Sports Director for
FOX30/CBS47. He joined the station as the Assistant Sports Director in
March of 2008. You can catch Brent anchoring CBS47's and FOX30's weekend
broadcasts and reporting during the week. He is also a Radio host on 1010XL/92.5FM as
well as a Radio sideline reporter for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He comes to Jacksonville from an
award-winning sports department in Albany, NY. Brent was part of a sports team
that was a two-time winner of the New York State Broadcasters Award for best
sportscast and Brent also won a regional Edward R. Murrow award for sports
reporting.
Prior to his five year stint in Albany, Brent worked for WPRI/WNAC-TV in Providence, RI and for KLAX-TV in Alexandria, LA. He covered the Patriots run to the 2001 Super Bowl Championship. He's also had the opportunity to report from the 2004 and 2007 World Series -- both championships won by his favorite Boston Red Sox. Brent's had the fortune of being at some big time events, but really enjoys telling stories about the local athletes -- professional and amateur.
Brent graduated from Ashland University in Ashland, OH in 1999. He played outfield for the Eagles team that made it to the Division II College World Series in '99. He's originally from East Providence, RI.
Brent lives in the Jacksonville area with his wife, Stefanie and twins, Tyler and Kaylee.

Minutarian Update, Week 12 (Sept 17th)
DG Art's message this week announces September as New Generations month on the Rotary calendar, which is now referred to as Youth Service month. In the Rotary world, Youth Service includes Youth Exchange, Rotaract, Interact, Early Act, Rotary Kids, RYLA, etc. Thereby, engaging in all aspects of service with our next generations of Rotarians.
DG Art encourages clubs not engaged in Youth Service to "get engaged". The RYLA program is one of the best, and our Interact Summit is being planned for mid October. Clubs that have not already submitted their intention to host an exchange student next year should do so this week.
