LOS ANGELES KINGS hockey will air in Spanish for 10 games this coming season, the first Spanish-language KINGS radio broadcasts in 20 years, the team announced TODAY (9/12).
LOTUS Spanish Sports KWKW-A (ESPN DEPORTES 1330)/LOS ANGELES will air the broadcasts, beginning with the NOVEMBER 1st "DIA DE LOS MUERTOS Night" game against the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS.
"As our game grows it is important we continue to reach as many fans as possible and this new partnership with ESPN DEPORTES is a tremendous opportunity to help introduce hockey to a new audience," said KINGS President LUC ROBITAILLE. "I was a player with the KINGS when we broadcast games in Spanish. It is exciting to have this opportunity again."
"We are all extremely excited here at KWKW -- from programming, to sales, to management … everyone," added KWKW GSM THOR NELSON. "To have an opportunity to be a part of something from the ground level and build it into something special in today's competitive sports landscape is truly amazing. The partnership with the KINGS is equally amazing, and together we are going to invite and entertain the Hispanic community into the LA KINGS hockey world, through live on-air broadcasts as well as community outreach and activations. It's perfect. Go KINGS Go!"
