Inter Miami signs local TV broadcast deal with CBS-4
Inter Miami’s inaugural season remains in limbo because of the coronavirus crisis, but once Major League Soccer resumes, fans will have a local TV station to watch games on and an entertaining announcing crew.
The club announced Thursday a multiyear deal naming WFOR CBS-4 as its official local television home for English-language games.
Through this partnership, a select number of Inter Miami regular-season games will air in prime time on MyTV33 (WBFS), with additional matches airing on CBS-4, across South Florida. The revised
Major League Soccer season schedule will be announced at a later date, at which point the club will provide full broadcast details for all of its games.
“This is still a historic year for Inter Miami, and we are continuing our efforts to give fans in South Florida as many possible ways to experience our team both live at our stadium or on the broadcast when we, as a community, are ready to return to league play,” said Inter Miami chief operating officer and sporting director Paul McDonough. “CBS Miami is a respected local media organization, and we are happy to bring them on board to reach every fan in our region over the air, on cable and on satellite TV.”
The broadcast team, which was announced in March, will include color commentators Ray Hudson and Fernando Fiore, playby-play commentator Andres Cordero and sideline reporter and digital host Kaylyn Kyle.
“We’re proud to launch this partnership with Inter Miami CF in their inaugural year,” said Adam Levy, vice president and general manager of CBS Miami. “We’re looking forward to showcasing the excitement when this team returns to the field.”
Through MLS’ national broadcast partnerships, several Inter Miami games will also air nationally on ESPN, Univision, UniMas, Fox Sports 1, FOX and ABC.
