Blaze Sports Announces Launch of Spanish-Language Sports Broadcasts

PHOENIX — Blaze Radio’s Sports Department is thrilled to announce the addition of Spanish-language broadcasts to its year-round live coverage of Arizona State Athletics, beginning Thursday, Aug. 29, as Arizona State’s soccer team plays host to Grambling State.  

“Adding in select Spanish-language broadcasts is a huge addition to the ever-growing platform that Blaze has when covering Arizona State athletics,” said Jaden Taylor, Blaze Radio Sports Director. “The initiative multiple incoming students showed regarding this opportunity has been impressive. We hope that we can continue this for many more students for years to come.” 

Beyond Thursday night’s match against Grambling State, the station will have a Spanish-language broadcast available to listeners for each of the remaining eight home matches at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium this season. 

The station will enlist Joa’o Lara Jr. and Jaime Lain to provide the play-by-play for the Grambling State match Thursday night. Lain will also be on the call Sunday, Sept. 1 for the Sun Devils’ non-conference match against Penn. He will be alongside Sebastian Friar for the Sunday 1 p.m. kickoff. Dane Palmer rounds out the team of four broadcasters for the station’s Spanish radio broadcasts. 

“This is an incredible opportunity for our four broadcasters and for our station,” said Cavan Malayter, Head of Broadcast for Blaze Sports. “To be able to expand Blaze Sports to reach new audiences, while being able to add more play-by-play and live broadcasting opportunities to members of Blaze is something I hope is here to stay.”
