L-A Radio: iHM, MLB Dodgers Rebrand 570 KLAC


HeartMedia Los Angeles and the Dodgers announced Monday the debut of the all-new AM 570 LA Sports, effective immediately.

The new baseball season will bring a new name, a new look, a re-brand, a re-launch and a new co-ownership with the Dodgers to the station KLAC 570 AM.

 570 LA Sports will be under the co-ownership of iHeartMedia Los Angeles and the Dodgers.

An extensive outdoor and mobile campaign will launch throughout the Southland, featuring the new AM 570 LA Sports logo with Vin Scully, Clayton Kershaw and Yasiel Puig.  In addition, custom branded promos will also be heard across all eight iHeartMedia Los Angeles’ radio stations.

AM 570 LA Sports will begin the day with Dan Patrick from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. followed by the newly created LA Today with Bill Reiter and Leann Tweeden from 9 a.m. to noon. Jay Mohr will fill the noon to 3 p.m. slot and the Marconi nominated and popular Petros and Money Show will be on from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Another new addition, Dodger Talk featuring David Vassegh and Kevin Kennedy will now air immediately following Dodgers baseball games or at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The show will air year round starting with Spring Training and throughout the regular season to keep Dodger fans on top of the day’s Dodger news and activities.

The voice of your Los Angeles Dodgers Vin Scully talks to LA Today with Bill Reiter and Leenann Tweeden to discuss the new partnership between the Dodgers, iHeartMedia Los Angeles and the new AM 570 LA Sports.



Plus, to get the excitement rolling during Spring Training, AM 570 LA Sports listeners can get into the celebration as the station will be giving away Opening Day tickets every day leading up to the sold-out April 6, home opener against the San Diego Padres.
