WDYZ/Orlando Flips To Sports As 'ESPN 660,' While 'Florida Man Radio' Continues On HD3-FM Translator

Starts Today

JVC BROADCASTING is flipping News-Talk WDYZ-A-W288CJ (FLORIDA MAN RADIO)/ORLANDO's AM signal to Sports as ESPN 660, ORLANDO SPORTS RADIO, effective TODAY (2/8). The guy-talk-and-politics FLORIDA MAN RADIO format will continue on the FM translator at 105.5, fed by WFYY-HD3.

Dir./Programming STEVIE DEMANN said, “ESPN RADIO offers the access to play-by-play, nationally known talent, and athletes that cannot be replicated.  ESPN 660 ORLANDO will air events like the DAYTONA 500 and the College Football Playoffs, giving radio listeners long-awaited access to these ‘must listen to’ sports, that previously were not available in CENTRAL FLORIDA.  We will have the largest selection of compelling sports content on ESPN 660 ORLANDO.”

“I’m thrilled with the partnership our ORLANDO team put together with ESPN RADIO.  ESPN 660 ORLANDO brings the biggest sporting events in the world to the CENTRAL FLORIDA radio audience,” said JVC Pres./CEO JOHN CARACCIOLO.  “A market like ORLANDO is on the go all the time.  This is a great chance for our business partners to reach mobile sports fans across the region and giving radio listeners access to their favorite games on one radio station!”

ESPN RADIO was heard on crosstown COX MEDIA GROUP's WDBO-A in 2012-2020 while that station's News-Talk format aired on FM, and has been off the dial in the market since the return of News-Talk to the 580 AM frequency. Prior to that, ESPN RADIO aired in ORLANDO on GENESIS' WHOO-A in 2002-2012.
