By Brad James
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.
Broncos vice president of corporate partnerships, Brady Kellogg, said these broadcasters were chosen because they share the team’s vision of expanding Spanish language coverage of the team in the Denver market.

As for KNRV, this Spanish-speaking AM radio station will now broadcast all Broncos home and away games, with Javier Olivas, the Broncos’ Spanish color analyst on the radio the past five seasons, moving over to the play-by-play side of things. He will be joined by new color commentator Carlos Valdez, as well as sideline reporter, Hector Salazar, the first roving reporter to appear in the history of the Broncos’ Spanish radio sportscasts.
Salazar will specialize in sideline updates, injury reports and postgame interviews.
KNVR manager Salvador Hernandez expressed his excitement in the Broncos’ decision, saying he anticipates this collaboration will enable their listeners to connect more fully with the defending Super Bowl champions.
