Univision’s TUDN, the multimedia sports brand of Univision Communications Inc., and Major League Baseball today announced a multi-year agreement naming TUDN Radio the official Spanish-language radio partner of MLB in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
The deal brings fans exclusive Spanish-language coverage on TUDN Radio of select games throughout the MLB Postseason and all the action from each World Series contest. Additionally, TUDN Radio will produce “Desde el Diamante” (From the Diamond), a daily, 60-minute radio program dedicated to the latest news and information around Major League Baseball. In 2022, TUDN Radio will also be home to select regular season games, as well as Major League Baseball’s annual Home Run Derby and All-Star Game.
“We are thrilled to partner with Major League Baseball to deliver coverage of America’s pastime to Spanish-speaking audiences around the country,” said Jesus Lara, President, Univision Radio. “This deal showcases our commitment to growing the sport with our broad fan base on a national level, and complements the exclusive, world-class local team coverage that Univision stations are known for.”
“We’re excited to start our Postseason with Univision’s TUDN Radio as our official Spanish-language partner in the U.S.,” said Dominick Balsamo, MLB Senior Vice President, Global Media & Business Development. “With a live daily show devoted to the latest news around the league, in addition a first-class presentation of national game broadcasts, we’re sure our fans will enjoy the complete coverage that TUDN is set to deliver.”
