The Utah Jazz are going bilingual.
The Jazz will now be broadcasting all of their regular season and playoff games, in addition to three preseason games in Spanish on AM 1600 ESPN Deportes.
Utah's new partnership with Adelante Media Group has created the first Spanish broadcast in franchise history. The inaugural broadcast will be Thursday night's game against the Portland Trailblazers live from EnergySolutions Arena at 9 p.m. ET.
"The Jazz have a large number of fans in the Wasatch Front's Hispanic community," said Chris Baum, Utah's senior vice president of broadcasting, "and we hope that providing the opportunity to listen to our games in Spanish will help continue to build that support."
Fernando Hortal will do play-by-play while Nelson Moran will handle the color analysis. Sideline reporter Don Clayton will join the pair for home games.
