TWELVE IMPACT GAMES TO BE BROADCAST LIVE ON CJAD 800
MONTREAL, February 4, 2003 — The Montreal Impact will be hitting the airwaves this summer as a total of 12 Impact games will be broadcast live on Montreal’s English radio station CJAD 800. "We’re very excited to give our fans the opportunity to follow the team live on CJAD," said Montreal Impact President Joey Saputo. "CJAD has been supportive of the Montreal Impact from the very beginning. Last year, we had a great relationship with CJAD as some of our players were regularly on the air during the World Cup. We see this as a natural extension of a long-lasting partnership."
With the Impact, soccer becomes the third professional sport to be showcased on CJAD. The station is already the official voice of the Montreal Alouettes and the Montreal Canadiens.
For CJAD, which broadcast the Impact’s championship final live from Claude-Robillard Stadium back in 1994, the Montreal Impact constitutes a welcome addition to the
fold.
"These are exciting times for the Montreal Impact, coming off a season where the team set a franchise attendance record," said CJAD Sports Director Dino Sisto. "We’re thrilled to join forces with the Impact in order to bring soccer into the homes of all Montreal soccer fans and into the homes of those listening worldwide on the web."
Sisto, who is also the official voice of the Montreal Canadiens, will be handling the play-by-play commentary for Impact games.
Montreal Impact broadcasts on CJAD will kick off May 10th as the Impact will be in Toronto, and will conclude with the last game of the regular season, August 31st, when the Calgary Storm visits the Impact.
The partnership between the Impact and CJAD also includes joint promotional events throughout the season as well as the option of broadcasting two playoff games.
The Impact is also presently negotiating with French station CKAC to broadcast games this upcoming season.
