AM 830 has been the home of the Angels since around 2008 (2007 they broadcasted the games in Spanish) and before that 830 was the home of fellow Anaheim Sports Franchise the Ducks. In 2009 AM 830 received the local broadcasting rights to the Fighting Irish of Norte Dame Football.
But since its inception, when Artie Moreno purchased AM 830, the fans of the Angels had often dreamed of a new sports network dedicated to Anaheim fans, be it baseball or hockey. However outside of Roger Lodge's Sports Lodge and Dave Smith's The Drive, later Jeff Biggs and Jason Brennan. The remaining of the programing left a lot to be desired from a Fan of Sports, stand point. Essentially, my day would go from Listening to Lodge, getting to work and listening to Biggs on the way home. But this all changes April 5th.
AM 830 in association with ESPN National Radio, have created a full day line up of Sports Talk Radio for the fans of the Angels, Ducks, Notre Dame, and anyone who wants an alternative to the existing Sports Talk Radio. ESPN currently broadcasts on 710, in the Los Angeles market. But after Colin Cowherd the programing takes a more regional format with LA Sports Live and the Mason and Ireland show. But what about the shows that aren't being played in our local market. Well check it out, now those shows will be available to AM 830. The line up looks like...
3AM- 7AM -- Mike & Mike (which also will be played on ESPN 710)
7AM-10AM -- The Sports Lodge w/ Roger Lodge
10AM- 1PM -- The Scott Van Pelt Show
1PM - 4PM -- The Doug Gottlieb Show
and 4PM will be a new variation of the DRIVE that will lead to the Angels Pre-Game Show.
So the Angels are finally surrounded by a deserving all sports lineup. Artie stands to make significantly more money than the previous lineups. And the real winners are the listeners and the Angel Fans.
