JVC Orlando Launches ESPN 660
• JVC Broadcasting makes an athletic move in Orlando, launching ESPN Radio on WDYZ-AM 660, which has been rebranded as ESPN 660 — Orlando Sports Radio.
When announcing the launch, JVC Florida Director of 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.”
JVC President & CEO John Caracciolo seconds that emotion, adding, “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. 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!”
The launch of ESPN 660 Orlando displaces Hot Talk Florida Man Radio, featuring Bubba the Love Spongein mornings and Shannon Burke in afternoons, which will continue to be available locally at 105.5 (W288CJ) and at 103.1 (WFYY-HD3) and its network of stations in Ocala-Gainesville and Fort Walton Beach.
