Foreign language sports broadcasts

[installLSC]

Just found this interesting article about NHL teams doing Spanish language broadcasts. So what teams in your area broadcast in languages other than English?

Redskins just started broadcasting in Spanish again on El Zol Deportes 1580AM, I believe they carry DC United games in Spanish as well. No Spanish radio for the Wizards, Caps, or Nats though.

Seattle Sounders soccer team have a Spanish language play by play that is on the local ranchero / norteño station, KKMO Tacoma 1360 (El Rey).

Just a clarification and not meant as a criticism... KKMO is mostly "banda" music (the stuff with the tuba), with some norteña (the songs with accordion) and only occasionally a ranchera song (the ones with acoustic guitars and trumpets). That is the direction the "regional Mexican" format has been going for the last 15 to 20 years,

With the exception of an occasional song by the "old timers" there is little ranchera being heard unless it's on a Spanish regional classic hits station.

Thanks for the clarification, Mr. Eduardo. I know that some of the older ranchera music is out of style -- I hear a lot of it on XERF from time to time, and that's about the only place I hear it. I wasn't aware that the ranchera genre name mainly matched the older style of music.
