Oakland Roots News Release


Oakland, CA - Oakland Roots today announced its first ever Spanish language broadcast agreement with TeleXitos, Telemundo 48 Area de la Bahia/KSTS's multicast network. TeleXitos will be designated as the flagship Spanish language television station of Oakland Roots SC and will broadcast six prominent Roots games in the club's historic first season in the USL Championship, including the Home Opener vs Sacramento Republic FC on June 19th.

"We are very excited about the partnership with TeleXitos and Telemundo48," said Roots Chief Revenue Officer Steven Powell. "Telemundo 48 has deep roots in the Bay Area and specifically in the Oakland community, having been a key sponsor of Oakland Dia 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. Our organization's alignment in the areas of inclusion and diversity were major factors in our decision to partner with Telemundo 48 for Spanish Language Broadcasts."
