In addition, ESPN announced the debut a new ESPNdeportes.com PodCenter, dedicated to providing Spanish-language downloadable digital audio content.
Radio shows previously heard only locally in New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago are now available, with local ESPN radio shows from Los Angeles and Dallas joining the ESPN podcasting lineup by the end of November. All ESPN podcasts are available to download for free via the ESPN.com PodCenter, the online hub for ESPN’s library of downloadable digital content; iTunes; or online at each local station’s Web site.
