National Scouting Combine Announces Partnership with iHeartMedia Fort Myers

New partnership with 105.5 The Beat will expand awareness of National Scouting Combine All-Star Week while creating new opportunities for businesses throughout Southwest Florida.

NAPLES, Fla. — The National Scouting Combine is proud to announce a new partnership with iHeartMedia Fort Myers that will help bring the excitement of its 2027 All-Star Week to audiences throughout Southwest Florida.
Through the partnership, iHeartMedia Fort Myers and 105.5 The Beat will help promote the athletes, games and community experiences taking place during All-Star Week. The collaboration will also enhance select National Scouting Combine sponsorship opportunities through radio advertising, creating additional visibility for participating businesses while building excitement around the upcoming events.

The partnership represents an important addition to the National Scouting Combine’s expanding media and marketing platform as the organization prepares to return to the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples for its third consecutive year.

“This partnership allows us to accomplish two important goals at the same time,” said Jimmy Kibble, CEO and Founder of the National Scouting Combine. “We can amplify an incredible week of opportunities for athletes and families while giving local businesses a powerful and affordable way to tell their own stories. iHeartMedia has the reach, experience and local presence to help us connect every part of that vision.”

Amplifying an Entire Week of Opportunity
National Scouting Combine All-Star Week will bring together athletes from the local and national levels for several days of competition, evaluation and exposure at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex.
 
The week is scheduled to include:
 
All events open to the public will take place at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida.
 
The NextGen High School Combine on Sunday and the National Scouting Combine Draft-Eligible Combine on Tuesday will be free to attend as spectators. Both All-Star Games will be ticketed events held under the lights at FC Naples Stadium at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. Ticketing information will be announced separately.

“Radio gives our sponsors something immediate, recognizable and incredibly valuable,” said Jesse Heninger, Chief Marketing Officer of the National Scouting Combine. “This partnership creates an exciting opportunity to bring more attention to our athletes and events while adding meaningful value for the businesses that support them. It’s a win for everyone involved—our athletes, our sponsors and the Southwest Florida community. We’re excited to work with iHeartMedia to make this year’s All-Star Week even more impactful.”

Why 105.5 The Beat
Known as “Southwest Florida’s Party Station,” 105.5 The Beat brings an energetic, culturally connected voice to the partnership. Its identity and audience provide a strong fit for an experience designed to engage young athletes, parents, families, fans and businesses throughout the region.

The station’s established local broadcast presence will help extend National Scouting Combine messaging beyond the stadium, reaching listeners, families and businesses throughout Southwest Florida.

Creating New Opportunities for Sponsors
Beyond promoting All-Star Week, the partnership brings an exciting new dimension to National Scouting Combine sponsorship opportunities. By incorporating radio advertising into select sponsorship packages, the organization can offer participating businesses additional exposure while strengthening the overall reach and visibility of its events.

The collaboration creates a mutually beneficial opportunity for the National Scouting Combine, iHeartMedia and the businesses supporting All-Star Week. Together, these efforts will help generate greater awareness of the events, celebrate the athletes taking part and connect sponsors with audiences throughout Southwest Florida.
Building a Stronger Southwest Florida Presence

As the National Scouting Combine enters its third consecutive year at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, the partnership strengthens the organization’s commitment to Naples, Fort Myers and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities.

With iHeartMedia Fort Myers serving listeners and businesses across the region, the collaboration will help tell the story of an entire week—from young male and female athletes pursuing their goals to Lee and Collier County standouts representing their communities, women competing for professional flag football opportunities, and draft-eligible college athletes competing on a national stage.
