Formats You’ll Flip Over
• Entercom launched Spanish-language sports station El Zol Deportes in our Nation’s Capital, using the platform of former Talk outlet 1580 WJFK-AM and the HD2 channel of Spanish Tropical WLZL (El Zol 107.9)/Washington. The new station will feature a mix of locally produced and nationally syndicated sports-talk programming from ESPN Deportes, along with a full slate of live Spanish-language play-by-play.
“Sports are an integral part of the Washington, DC Spanish-speaking community and we are excited to fill this void by offering the only Spanish-language sports brand in the metro area,” said Steve Swenson, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Washington. “By leveraging our existing sports brands and relationships, El Zol Deportes will offer the most compelling play-by-play to serve the community and our local partners.”
El Zol Deportes will offer DC listeners the Spanish-language radio call of Major League Soccer Game of the Week as well as major international soccer leagues UEFA, Liga MX and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, along with Spanish play-by-play of ESPN’s Monday Night Football, Major League Baseball and the NBA playoffs. The new El Zol Deportes will also feature the locally produced Deportes al Día con Rey Parker weekdays from 3-5pm ET, followed by the nationally syndicated Jorge Ramos Y Su Banda from 5-7pm. El Zol Deportes will also partner with Sports-Talk sister WJFK (106.7 The Fan).
