For the 15th straight season, UCLA men’s basketball games will be produced by the UCLA Sports Network from Learfield, with AM 570 Fox Sports LA in Los Angeles serving as the flagship station for the network. The 2022-23 campaign marks the 26th year of UCLA’s partnership with AM 570 Fox Sports LA owner iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel Communications). All men’s basketball games are broadcast on KLAC (AM 570) or one of its sister iHeartMedia stations. UCLA and Learfield IMG College have agreed to terms to simulcast a significant number of men’s basketball games on 97.3 THE FAN in San Diego. The primary sister station in the greater Los Angeles area is AM 1150 (KEIB). Each of UCLA’s basketball games in 2022-23 will be televised live on a variety of broadcast networks. Last season, every one of the Bruins’ basketball games was televised or streamed live on a television or nationallysyndicated online platform, such as ESPN+. Josh Lewin enters his seventh season as the play-by-play voice for the UCLA men’s basketball and football teams. Lewin has served as the Bruins’ basketball voice since the start of the 2016-17 season. During that span, the Bruins have played in four NCAA Tournaments, with runs to the “Sweet 16” in 2017, 2021 and 2022. Lewin and broadcast partner Tracy Murray called the Bruins’ memorable run from the First Four to the Final Four in 2021. Lewin recently spent seven seasons as a play-by-play voice for the New York Mets. In addition, he served as the voice for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers for 12 seasons (200517), before the team relocated to Los Angeles. Lewin has over two decades of experience calling NFL, MLB, NHL and NCAA football and basketball contests. Murray, who played for the Bruins from 1990-92, has entered his 14th season as a radio analyst. He was selected in the first round of the 1992 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs and enjoyed a 12-year NBA career. He returned to his alma mater as a radio broadcaster in 2008, calling games as an analyst until 2015, spending the 2015-16 season as an assistant coach with the L.A. Lakers.
