Chargers announce multi-year broadcast agreements with KAZA-TV Azteca America 54 in LA
The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed in principle to multi-year television and radio agreements that will make KABC-TV, iHeartMedia Los Angeles, KAZA-TV Azteca America 54 and KFWB 980 AM the team’s official flagship English and Spanish language broadcast partners.
The Chargers will take their ‘Fight For LA’ to the airwaves and collaborate extensively with each flagship in developing a wide range of content, including preseason games, exclusive shoulder programming, behind-the-scenes shows, news features, community events and promotions. Overall, the Chargers will be offering up nearly 400 hours of programming on an annual basis across the four TV and radio flagship stations.
“We strive to provide Chargers fans with the best experience in every way possible,” said A.G. Spanos, Chargers president of Business Operations. “Whether it’s on-field performance, in-venue experience, season ticket member service or, in this case, unparalleled television and radio access throughout the LA region, placing a premium on our fans and their relationship with us is of the utmost importance. These partnerships only serve to enhance this priority. We are proud and excited to welcome KABC-TV, iHeartMedia Los Angeles, KAZA-TV Azteca America 54 and KFWB 980 AM to the Chargers family.”
KAZA-TV Azteca America 54, which first signed on in Los Angeles in 2001, will serve as the Chargers flagship Spanish-language television station. In addition to televising all preseason games available to air in Southern California, KAZA Azteca will offer pre and postgame shows for the preseason games as well as a weekly Chargers series throughout the season and Chargers news features throughout the year.
“We are thrilled that KAZA Azteca will be the official Spanish-language home of the Los Angeles Chargers this season. This latest partnership with the NFL allows us to bring the excitement of the city’s newest football team to our audience, underscoring our commitment of delivering the best in sports entertainment to our viewers and advertisers,” said José Luis Padilla, EVP, Azteca America Station Group.
