L.A. Lakers Pick New Stations Partner

The Los Angeles Lakers has picked a new radio station partner, announcing Thursday (Dec. 11) a multi-year broadcasting agreement with 710 ESPN (KSPN-AM, Disney/ABC’s owned-and-operated ESPN Radio station). The new pact ends three-decades of Laker’s coverage on KLAC-AM, Clear Channel’s Sports station.

Beginning with the 2009-10 season, 710 ESPN will serve as the flagship for Lakers’ radio coverage, broadcasting all 82 regular season and playoff games, along with pre- and postgame coverage. The Lakers radio broadcasting team of play-by-play announcer Spero Dedes and color commentator Mychal Thompson will also make the move to 710 ESPN.
