About Sports Radio
Sports radio is a format built entirely around the emotional connection between fans and their teams — and that passion makes it one of the most loyal-listener formats in broadcasting. In the United States sports radio exploded in the late 1980s and 90s as stations like WFAN in New York and ESPN Radio launched all-sports formats that combined live play-by-play, post-game analysis, and hours of talk between fans and hosts. In the UK talkSPORT carries live Premier League commentary and reaches millions of listeners. Sports radio stations tend to be AM-based because AM's reach allows a single station to serve a wide geographic market — essential when covering teams with fans spread across states or regions.
Sports radio is strongest in the US, UK, Australia, Brazil, and South Africa. Most countries have at least one national sports radio station.
