Former ESPN LA 710 host Allen Sliwa has joined AM 570 LA Sports as an NBA Analyst, the iHeartMedia Los Angeles sports station has announced.
Sliwa spent five years working on the Lakers’ radio broadcast team as a pregame, halftime, and postgame host. He also hosts Hoops Talk with Allen Sliwa on YouTube, which features more than 30,000 subscribers.
Sliwa spent 15 years working at ESPN LA 710 before exiting last September. At the time of his exit, he had been paired with Travis Rodgers.
“I’m incredibly excited to work with iHeartRadio and the talented AM 570 LA Sports team,” said Sliwa. “Hoops Talk has always been about connecting with Lakers fans in an authentic way, and this opportunity allows me to bring that same energy and perspective to a new platform.
“I’m honored to be part of such a respected sports lineup and grateful to iHeart for believing in what we’re building,” Sliwa concluded.
“Allen is one of the premier voices covering the Lakers,” said AM 570 LA Sports Program Director Brian Long. “With the excitement surrounding the team this season, his perspective and passion will be a great addition to our coverage and valuable voice for Lakers fans in Southern California and across the country.”
