Jim Abath

Reporter/Anchor

Jim Abath joined WPBF in September 1999. It was just a short drive south from Gainesville, where he had been sports anchor/reporter at WCJB since 1992.

Abath earned a master's degree in mass communications from the University of Florida after completing a thesis on sports violence. He also has a bachelor's degree from Marquette University.

"When I started watching local TV news and sports in the fifth grade and none of my friends did, my mother figured I had found my career," Abath said. "My friends just thought I was weird. (My wife still does)."

Jim and his wife, Cindy, live in Royal Palm Beach.
