by Ron Cervenka The Los Angeles Dodgers and iHeartMedia today announced a multi-year agreement renewing AM 570’s broadcast rights of the Dodgers regular season games, select Spring training games and potential post season games. In addition, the new partnership will include an equity position in the station for the Dodgers owners as well as the opportunity for collaborative programming.
“We are looking forward to expanding KLAC’s content in this new partnership for our passionate and loyal fan base,” said Dodgers President & CEO Stan Kasten. “We will be teaming up with the fantastic creative team at iHeartMedia on a number of projects and initiatives, to enhance our fans engagement. And what better team to tell the story than from broadcast talent of Vin, Rick and Charley.”
“We take great pride in delivering Dodgers programming to millions of fans on AM 570 and throughout the country via iHeartRadio,” said Greg Ashlock, President of iHeartMedia Southern California. “The Dodgers are one of the strongest professional sports brands in the country and this ownership team, through actions on and off the field, has proven its commitment to even further strengthening its bond with the Southern California community. We are excited to expand our partnership with continued focus on the game broadcast experience and jointly produced new local programming for the station.”
The agreement between the Los Angeles Dodgers and iHeartMedia is subject to Major League Baseball approval.

Four-time Emmy Award winner Charley Steiner is in his 10th season as play-by-play announcer for the Dodgers. Monday and Steiner will return to the booth in 2015 as well.

In addition to the team of Vin, Rick and Charley, AM 570’s DodgerTalk show has also been a hit with fans as Kevin Kennedy, David Vassegh and Jorge Jarrin cover the team before and after each and every game.
The AM 570 signal covers all five counties in Los Angeles and the station will continue to provide game broadcasts and pre-and post-game shows to the entire Dodger Radio Network, which includes 22 stations across the state and country.

I am curious to know exactly how long this “multi-year” agreement is for and even more so exactly what percentage of “equity” the Dodgers will have in the deal.
I am also curious if AM 570 will continue to use the “Fox Sports” branding because of the Dodgers falling out with Fox Television and the subsequent creation of SportsNetLA.
I can see this eventually becoming a Dodgers-only radio thing much like SNLA’s Dodgers-only TV thing.
This is good news for you. BUT are they going to do anything about TV – it’s pathetic for those of us in their “territory” which, in and of itself, is ridiculous for Vegans. Direct still doesn’t have them – went to Home Show and talked to the Cox people and they say it’s too expensive to offer their channel. What a mess…
