The beautiful Breakers hotel

Palm Beach has a shot at being named the number one beach in America by the Travel Channel's annual television show America's Top Ten Beaches. Out of thousands of beaches nationwide, Palm Beach was chosen as one of the top ten. The Travel Channel determines the top ten and even the production company does not reveal the winner or even the order of the finalists. The winner will be announced when the program airs in March 2002. 

In March of each year, at the beginning of the celestial spring break season, the Travel Channel hosts the popular Beach Week. All of the programming during the week is beach related. America's Top 

Ten Beaches and the World's Best Beaches are two of the standout shows during the week. 

For America's Top Ten, the Travel Channel hired Kaos Entertainment, a Santa Monica, CA based production company. Segment Producer Sarah Levine spent many weeks researching and admiring the uniqueness of Palm Beach. "We try to provide a package that includes the beach, and as much of the surrounding area as possible. We try to capture the distinctive qualities of each beach, including the water, the beach, the locations around the beach etc," Levine explained. "We are so lucky that Palm Beach and Palm Beach County offer so many beautiful, creative and unique options."

ECO Euphonix Music to the Stars

A new, all digital console called the Euphonix System 5 is drawing big name talent to the Jupiter based Eco Studios. The popular studio has a long relationship with Burt Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds frequents the studio for voice-overs on many of his projects, including the feature film Driven. Most recently, he has been in the studio narrating a new ESPN program slated to air this fall. Additionally, former Good Morning America co-host Joan Lunden works on her A &E program, Behind Closed Doors.
