Kansas City One of First Cities in U.S. to Simultaneously Televise Professional Soccer in Spanish

“On August 19, the Kansas City Wizards will become one of the first professional soccer teams in the country to have its games simultaneously televised in Spanish and English. Thanks to Time Warner Cables Metro Sports, most Kansas City Wizards games will be broadcast in English on one channel at the same time theyre televised in Spanish on a second channel. In addition, the games will continue to be carried on local Spanish language radio station KDTD-AM La Gran D 1340, which is providing the Spanish-speaking announcers for the TV broadcasts.

“This historic initiative sends out a strong, positive message to Spanish-speaking fans of the Kansas City Wizards and Major League Soccer,” says Wizards Director of Latino Relations Leobardo Prieto. “We are fortunate to have great, supportive partners such as Time Warner Cables Metro Sports and La Gran D that recognize the importance of bringing entertainment to the Hispanic community of Kansas City. We are not only setting the trend in Major League Soccer, but setting the standard for the league with all of our new Spanish-language programming for all of our fans.”"
