The Denver Broncos, long one of the NFL’s most popular franchises because of three Super Bowl victories and some of the best players in history, have changed Spanish-speaking broadcasters in Denver per a Wednesday morning press release.
The Broncos announced that Telemundo Denver (KDEN-TV) and KNRV-AM 1150 will be the new Spanish language partners for the defending Super Bowl champions, per this article.
