ESPNLA and the Los Angeles Lakers have reached an agreement to extend their radio play-by-play relationship for two additional seasons, keeping the iconic NBA team on ESPNLA through the 2021-2022 season. ESPNLA (710 AM) will carry all 82 regular-season games as well as the entire preseason and every playoff game. ESPNLA has served as the official radio broadcast home of the Lakers for the last six seasons, since 2009.
The announcement was made earlier today by Jeanie Buss, part owner and president of the Lakers, when she appeared as a guest on ESPNLA 710 AM.
“We at ESPNLA have enjoyed a terrific and mutually-beneficial relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers since 2009, and could not be more excited to extend our agreement through mid-2022,” said Scott McCarthy, Vice President and General Manager, ESPNLA.
