I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but you’re way off base, There are three radio sports talk stations in Los Angeles and Orange County, including ESPN and Fox outlets. The third is owned by the guy who owns the Angels and is their flagship station. Twenty four hour sports on those stations and they’re not talking New York Yankees all day. They’re talking about the Dodgers almost exclusively right now.
The ESPN station carries the Laker games, and that team is huge in LA. They also carry USC football. Besides the games, they have an hour of Trojan talk Monday nights during the season.
The Fox station carries the Dodgers, the Clippers, and UCLA. That OC station carries the Angels and Ducks.
Two stations, one AM and one FM, carries the Rams. The Chargers are on KFI. They all have call in shows besides the game broadcasts.
TV news begins with Dodger results right now. Weekend and postgame sports wrap up shows are not overlooking local teams.
So while you may be right about other areas not covering LA sports, you’re wrong about coverage here. I guess that old saying about everything being bigger in Texas is especially true when it comes to the BS.
I am talking about the national shows. I am in Dallas but at lunch they have ESPN and FoxSports usually.
I am reporting from my own observations.
But that was the case when I was in L.A. as well.
