Kansas City has not had a presence on the Spanish-speaking airwaves since 2004.

Kansas City, MO - infoZine - The Kansas City Wizards announce a partnership with local radio stations "La Gran D" 1340 AM and "La Playa" 1480 AM. "La Gran D" will broadcast all 15 Wizards home matches in 2007. On Cindo de Mayo, both "La Gran D" and "La Playa" will broadcast the match as the Wizards take on the Columbus Crew at noon CT.

Julio Caraveo and Alberto Ririgoyen will call the first game. Carlos Chicas and Jose Lopez will call the May 5 game as the Wizards further extend themselves to the Latino community.

"We're excited because these two stations reach a Spanish-speaking demographic that has been untapped in the Kansas City Wizards history," Director of Latino Relations Leobardo Prieto said. "They're hip, they're trendy and they're diverse."

Kansas City has not had a presence on the Spanish-speaking airwaves since 2004. The Wizards organization is proud to buck this trend.

"This is another example of our reaching out to the Latino community," Executive Vice President Greg Cotton said. "In a short period of time, we've achieved great success in bringing together the Kansas City soccer community, and we continue to work toward that goal."
