KFWB/Los Angeles to Carry NFL and NCAA Action

RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, August 20, 2014

As part of its all-Sports format set to launch in early September, KFWB-AM/Los Angeles will carry a full schedule of NFL and NCAA play-by-play in 2014-15 and the USC sports spotlight, "Trojan's Live," will return for another season, it was announced today by newly-named KFWB Program Director Owen Murphy.

KFWB, entering its fifth season as the flagship station of the Los Angeles Clippers, becomes the exclusive L.A. radio home for Westwood One's coverage of all NFL Sunday night, Monday night and Thursday night games beginning on September 4 when Green Bay takes on reigning champion Seattle. The weekly Sunday primetime game will be the culmination of KFWB's triple-header coverage. The broadcast schedule will include post-season playoff action as well.

KFWB will also offer a full slate of Westwood One's coverage of NCAA football, beginning September 6 when Michigan State visits Oregon. College basketball is also on tap, including the exclusive national feeds of the men's and women's Final Four in 2015.

"With rumors swirling about the NFL draft coming to Los Angeles in 2015, and maybe an NFL team, as well, we could not be more excited to deliver great Westwood One football programming to a football hungry town so deserving of its own team," said Murphy. "Additionally, there is no better product than Westwood One's March Madness play-by-play and we are proud to have the opportunity to present it to the most passionate and knowledgeable hoops fans in America."

"Trojans Live," an hour-long program devoted to USC sports and featuring men's head football coach Steve Sarkisian, will be back for its second season on KFWB. "Trojans Live" airs Tuesdays from 6-7pm and is broadcast live from The Lab gastropub near the USC campus. The show is produced by USC Sports Properties, a division of FOX Sports.
