“5th Quarter with the FINSIDERS” will feature Head Coach Tony Sparano’s postgame press conference, postgame interviews of key players and other game-related features. The show will be broadcast from studios located in the Gate C Club Level of Sun Life Stadium with CBS4 sportscasters Jim Berry and Kim Bokamper, along with John Congemi, Keith Sims, and other personalities to be named at a later date.
