JVC Broadcasting adds ESPN Radio to WDYZ-AM (660) in Orlando -- to be known as ESPN 660 Orlando Sports Radio -- as of Wednesday February 8. ESPN 660, the new home for ESPN Radio, will feature NBA, MLB, NFL and NCAA action, as well as Keyshawn, JWill & Max mornings from 6-10am, followed by #Greeny at 10am. With the debut of ESPN 660, Florida Man Radio featuring Bubba the Love Sponge in mornings and The Shannon Burke Show in afternoons, will continue to be available on 105.5 FM and 103.1 HD3.

JVC Florida Director of Programming Stevie DeMann said, "ESPN Radio offers the access to play-by-play, nationally known talent, and athletes that cannot be replicated. ESPN 660 Orlando will air events like the Daytona 500 and the College Football Playoffs, giving radio listeners long-awaited access to these ‘must listen to' sports, that previously were not available in Central Florida. We will have the largest selection of compelling sports content on ESPN 660 Orlando."

"I'm thrilled with the partnership our Orlando team put together with ESPN Radio. ESPN 660 Orlando brings the biggest sporting events in the world to the Central Florida radio audience," added JVC President and CEO John Caracciolo. "A market like Orlando is on the go all the time. This is a great chance for our business partners to reach mobile sports fans across the region and giving radio listeners access to their favorite games on one radio station."
