Oakland Roots Sports Club today announced the seven games slate to be broadcast on Telemundo affiliate station TeleXitos. This is the third year in a row that will see the NBC/Telemundo family in partnership with Oakland Roots SC. TeleXitos will be designated as the flagship Spanish language television station of Oakland Roots SC and will broadcast seven prominent Roots games in the club’s third season in the USL Championship.
“We are very excited about the partnership with Telemundo 48,” said Roots Chief Revenue Officer Steven Powell. “Telemundo 48 is deeply committed to the Oakland community and has been for years through their sponsorship of Oakland Día de los Muertos Festival in the Fruitvale District. TeleXitos’ reputation and commitment to the Spanish speaking community of the East Bay aligns with Roots and its extensive multicultural fanbase.”
TeleXitos provides an opportunity to reach nearly one of every four (or 24%) of the Bay Area’s population and along with Oakland Roots – presents the potential to reach nearly 1.2 million Spanish speaking viewers.
“Our partnership with the Oakland Roots is built on a shared commitment of Apoyando a Nuestra Comunidad, supporting our community,” said Stacy Owen, President and General Manager of NBC Bay Area and Telemundo 48. “We are proud to be the flagship Spanish language television station of the Roots, making Telemundo 48 and TeleXitos the home for Spanish-language soccer in the Bay Area as we build toward the FIFA Women’s World Cup this summer.”
