Seattle Sounders FC announce TV Deal


leiwekecalabro223.pngAt a press conference at Qwest Field, the Seattle Sounders FC announced their three year television deal for the clubs upcoming inaugural season in Major League Soccer. The deal will see King-5(or Kong 6/16), broadcast every Seattle Sounders FC match, both home and away. Seattle also announced that Kevin Calabro will be the clubs play-by-play announced. Calabro was the former “voice of the Seattle Sonics”, winning several Emmy awards during 21 years broadcasting. Calabro is a well known announcer, throughout Seattle and although he admitted he had to learn a bit more about Soccer, but was excited about the opportunity. This seems like yet another great decision by the Seattle Sounder FC front office, making the clubs games available on a free television channel, with a well known voice calling each game.
