The level of interest in the NBA in the Rio Grande Valley appears to be extremely high and it is growing in popularity in Mexico. We look forward to again hearing the NBA in the Rio Grande Valley on ESPN 1240 KSOX," BMP Radio Program Director Bruce Collins said.
The first Rockets broadcast on ESPN 1240 AM will be the season-opener tomorrow at Portland, with tip-off scheduled for 9:00 p.m.
