USC Sports: Easy As KABC

• USC has signed a five-year agreement with Cumulus News-Talk 790 KABC/Los Angeles to be the new radio home of Trojan football and men’s basketball. Since 2006, USC football and men’s basketball radio broadcasts had aired on Disney-owned ESPN affiliate KSPN-AM 710. USC’s games will also be available via live stream on KABC.com, as well as on the TuneIn app and on SiriusXM.

“We are very excited to be partnering with KABC to bring our football and men’s basketball game radio broadcasts to all of our fans throughout Southern California,” said Lynn Swann, USC Athletic Director. “This is a wonderful pairing of organizations with long and strong traditions of success. A powerful station like KABC will help us strengthen the USC brand over the airwaves and bring great Trojan content to fans, supporters and alumni throughout the region. We are extremely proud to be the showcased sports property on KABC. It was important to us that our radio partner is without other team conflicts, thereby making USC its sports priority.”

An equally thrilled Drew Hayes, Interim GM of KABC, said, “We are thrilled to partner with USC as the new radio broadcast home of Trojan football and men’s basketball and look forward to bringing the very best sports programming to passionate Trojan fans. With KABC’s powerhouse signal, and USC’s powerhouse teams, more Southern California sports fans than ever will enjoy the ultimate in sports programming. Our entire team is excited to be able to broadcast and live stream Trojans games, as well as the weekly Trojans LiveMonday evening coaches’ show on KABC.”
