San Diego – San Diego State University’s football game against Colorado State on Friday will make a significant move toward inclusivity with the introduction of a Spanish radio broadcast. This broadcast is a product of partnership between the SDSU athletic department, San Diego Sports 760, and JMI Sports. Both Spanish-speaking fans and the broader community will have the opportunity to engage with the game by tuning in via GoAztecs.com and the official SDSU athletics app.
This upcoming broadcast marks an important milestone as it is the second consecutive year SDSU has offered a home game in Spanish. Last year, a Spanish broadcast was provided for the game against Hawai’i, which was celebrated as a possible first for the program. The decision to offer bilingual coverage emphasizes the university’s commitment to serving a diverse audience.
Providing play-by-play commentary for the game will be Tony Alvarez, a seasoned reporter from Televisa Tijuana and Las Noticias. Alvarez brings extensive experience to the broadcast, having previously worked as a commentator for the former San Diego Chargers and the Tijuana Xolos soccer team. Additionally, he has announced for Tijuana Zonkeys basketball and Tijuana Truenos baseball, showcasing his versatility across different sports.
Joining Alvarez in the broadcast booth will be Pedro Gutiérrez, who has an impressive background as a Spanish broadcaster for the San Diego Padres, spanning 12 seasons. Gutiérrez has hosted pregame and postgame shows for the Padres, and he has also filled in for play-by-play duties on both Spanish radio and television. His resume includes eight seasons in the Mexican Winter League, where he contributed to various teams.
The launch of the Spanish radio broadcast coincides with the ongoing National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the vibrant history and culture of Hispanic and Latino communities across the United States. This timing aligns with SDSU’s goal of engaging with its Hispanic fanbase and fostering a welcoming environment for all supporters.
In addition to the Spanish broadcast, attendees can expect more announcements regarding activities related to the game. The matchup is particularly important, as it represents the Mountain West opener for both teams. San Diego State holds a record of 3-1, while Colorado State is currently positioned at 1-3. This contest will set the tone for both teams as they enter conference play.
Fans eager to catch the game can still purchase single-game tickets. The emphasis on accessibility and inclusivity through the Spanish broadcast aims to enhance the experience for all attendees and listeners alike, making this event not just a competition but a celebration of community and culture.
As sports continue to transcend language barriers, the decision by SDSU to include a Spanish radio broadcast mirrors a broader trend in sports media aiming to meet the needs of diverse audiences. The commitment to provide quality coverage, regardless of language, strengthens community ties and enriches the overall game day experience.
