SoCal Radio: Mightier 1090 Adds ESPN Programming


Southern California’s long-time sports leader, XEPRS The Mightier 1090, is now even mightier as it becomes SoCal’s newest ESPN-affiliated radio station. Effective immediately, the station will now be known as The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio.

The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio, which just completed its second season broadcasting Notre Dame Football, will add ESPN Radio’s live NFL, MLB and NBA broadcasts, including Sunday Night Baseball, to its already impressive lineup.

The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio will also add two of ESPN’s top-rated talk shows to its daily queue:
Keyshawn, JWill and Max and #Greeny. Featuring Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams and Max Kellerman, Keyshawn, JWill and Max will air daily from 3-7 a.m. PT, and #Greeny, with Mike Greenberg, will follow from 7-9 a.m. PT. They’ll join a potent lineup at The Mightier 1090 that includes The Rich Eisen Show, Scott Kaplan’s Kaplan & Crew Show, The Arash Markazi Show and additional local and national shows.

“This is something we’ve been working on for a long time, and it’s incredibly satisfying to finally see it come to fruition just in time for the start of the new year,” said Bill Hagen, of The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio. “This is another very important step in us getting the Padres back home on 1090 as well.”

Scott McCarthy, vice president, ESPN Audio, added, “We’re thrilled to have The Mightier 1090 ESPN Radio join our affiliate network in a key southern California market and provide fans with our can’t-miss national morning studio show lineup as well as a marquee live event schedule throughout the year.”

Mighty 1090 is among a few dozen stations, from San Diego to Brownsville, Texas, with audiences in the United States but antennas south of the border.   In April 2020, Bill Hagen, owner of an advertising agency in Flagstaff, Arizona, signed a five-year lease with XEPRS owner Interamericana de Radio.
