Primetime585 and WROCTV News Channel 8 is now collaborating to expand sports coverage in Section V
It’s PrimeTime!
PrimeTime585 works with young adults to unite our community in the fight against racism and poverty.
We engage young adults through a shared love of sports.
Beyond the action and sports commentary, we send the important message: When it comes to fighting racism and poverty we are all on the same team.
We provide opportunities to act.
Bridging racial, economic, and geographic barriers, we bring together athletes, fans, and law enforcement professionals to play, learn, and work together.
We help when help is needed the most.
We work with young adults to address mental health issues and connect them to appropriate services.
The teenage years are the Prime Time to promote the importance of compassion, tolerance and cultural sensitivity.

Karen Iglesia of Primetime585 was a national honoree at the Jackie Onassis Kennedy Multiplying Good in NYC Oct 3-5. Many people from throughout the USA were honored for their community service, including NBA legend Shane Battier and longtime news reporter and Entertainment Today Leeza Gibbons. Karen received the silver award for community service with her work to multiply good throughout the section v sports community.
The Primetime585 Mental Health Day and the COACH IGLESIA FREE BASKETBALL CAMP served as a day where several organizations come together to send a message to young adults that they are supported.
Rob McClanaghan, NBA trainer was the keynote speaker addressing his struggle with mental health and how he did this in silence. All 150 players attended and will take this back to their respective communities and schools.
We also had DA Sandra Doorley, Mayor Malik Evans, and County Executive Adam Bello attended and speak at the event. Gerard and Karen Iglesia were also presented with a proclamation from the county and city for their work with youth over the last 17 years.
