Scott Kaplan is already featured in Southern California on two major market radio stations and starting next week, the longtime sports host will increase his multiplatform footprint with a weeknight TV show.
Beginning Monday, March 29, Kaplan & Crew Tonight will air nightly as a one-hour show on Cox Communications’ regional cable television network YurView.
Kaplan & Crew with co-hosts John Browner and Alex Padilla airs daily on San Diego’s The Mightier 1090 from 3 – 7pm. The new TV aspect to Kaplan & Crew will offer viewers highlights from the day’s radio show, with additional features mixed in.
“The idea to do a TV show actually started before we put 1090 back on the air last year,” said station Bill Hagen, who played a pivotal role in relaunching 1090 last summer. “Cable TV has a tremendous reach in SoCal and The Mightier 1090 is very excited to partner with Cox Media and YurView on this production. We will reach households throughout Southern California with this new show.”
“And Scott Kaplan & Crew were the obvious choice to showcase the all new Mightier 1090. For nearly 20 years, Scott’s been a successful staple in Southern California media, and we expect that this new show will be another big hit as well,” Hagen added in the press announcement.
In addition to The Mightier 1090, his TV show and strong digital footprint, Kaplan also co-hosts afternoon drive on 710 ESPN Los Angeles alongside Jorge Sedano and LZ Granderson, further entrenching himself on Southern California’s airwaves.
