Lakers Extend Radio Partnership…
The Los Angeles Lakers are sticking with ESPN Los Angeles 710 like peanut butter glued to jelly, as they’ve extended their radio rights agreement. This means ESPN LA will remain the official voice for swooshes, dunks, and sneaker squeaks since 2009 and keep it that way for many years. Lakers COO Tim Harris said the announcers are so beloved that fans expect them to call games while dressed in superhero capes. The broadcast dynamic duo of John Ireland and Mychal Thompson will continue to drive the hype bus, entering their 14th and 22nd seasons, respectively.
Sam Pines from ESPN LA exclaimed their pride in partnering with a franchise that’s as iconic as a Hollywood blockbuster in summer. ESPN LA 710 will wrap your ears around every game, whether it’s discussing every LeBron leap or analyzing the millisecond movements of the court. Aside from game broadcasts, fans can catch the buzz on shows like Mason and Ireland or Sedano & Kap, featuring great personalities debating if basketball initially started with dinosaurs dribbling coconuts. Lakers enthusiasts can keep tuning in through the ESPN LA app for game broadcasts and more juicy sports insights.
