On Hometown Jax, hosts Aaron Bacus and Jason Kindler sit down with Jacksonville’s entrepreneurs, storytellers, and public figures to explore the paths they’ve taken and the impact they’ve made in the First Coast community. It’s a celebration of grit, growth, and the people who keep our city moving forward.
In this episode, Aaron chats with Sam Kouvaris, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, longtime Channel 4 sportscaster, and Hall of Fame media figure who helped shape Jacksonville’s sports and news culture over four decades. Sam shares stories from the golden age of local news—covering the Gators’ back-to-back championships, standing on NFL sidelines, and witnessing Jacksonville’s transformation from “the city that stinks” to a Super Bowl host. He opens up about his early days in Charleston, the evolution of journalism, what it takes to build community trust, and the moments that mattered most in his iconic career.
