Narrative:

Departures off the bct airport IFR flying into mia approach's airspace will not flash to mia approach (automatic or forced). This has been reported to management/automations for at least 4 yrs and is going to result in some sort of incident with either mia approach's traffic if it is not caught in time; or in pbi's airspace while the controller scrambles to get mia approach on the line to coordinate a verbal/manual handoff at the last second. I was not working position this particular time; I was working another position and observed this instance; but it has happened to me many times over the last few yrs.
