KANSAS CITY, Missouri (KCTV) — The Kansas City Royals announced Sunday that the organization will continue its partnership with Tico Sports to produce Spanish-language broadcasts for 14 games throughout the remainder of the 2023 season.
The agreement includes Sunday’s Father’s Day matchup between the Royals and Los Angeles Angels.
Tico will broadcast the remaining Sunday and Tuesday home games, with broadcasts available on the MLB app and Tico’s website, in the Kansas City area.
“We are excited to work with Tico again, with them broadcasting more games than ever before,” said Sarah Tourville, Royals executive Vice President and Chief Commercial and Community Impact Officer. “That’s important for us as we continue to look for ways to grow our fanbase, particularly our Latino audience, and make sure that people can experience the Royals.”
Tico owner and founder Oscar Monterroso, who has experience calling Chiefs games, will serve as analyst. Héctor García, who called Royals games during the 2021 season, and Adan Manzano, who calls Kansas City Roos basketball, will take play by play duties.
