KMVP-AM is a radio station broadcasting at 860 AM in Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of several all-sports stations in the Phoenix market and is an affiliate of ESPN Radio. KMVP, better known as "ESPN Radio 860", is owned by Bonneville International.
It is the flagship station of the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League, the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League, and the Phoenix Mercury of the Women's National Basketball Association.
ESPN Radio 860 is also the co-flagship station of the Sun Devil Sports Network, which is managed by Sun Devil Sports Marketing. ESPN Radio 860 airs all football and men's basketball games. ESPN Radio 860's sister station, Newsradio 620 KTAR, shares airtime of select games during football season only.
In January 2007, the ESPN Radio programming currently heard on KMVP will move to the stronger signal of 620 KTAR, as the latter splits into two separate stations (news/talk on 92.3 FM and sports on 620 AM). There will be an initial simulcast between the two stations. After the simulcast period, the future of 860 AM has yet to be determined. [1]

[edit] ESPN Radio
ESPN Radio is a national sports radio network in the United States launched on January 1, 1992. It was originally called Sports Radio ESPN. ESPN Radio is located at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. The network airs a regular schedule of daily and weekly programming as well as live coverage of Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, Bowl Championship Series, and National Invitation Tournament games. As of 2006, like ESPN, ESPN Radio now has what is called ESPN Radio Insider. ESPN Radio is broadcast to subscribers of both Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio.
ESPN Radio currently has five company-owned stations in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Pittsburgh. Most other markets have ESPN Radio affiliates, whether they be part-time or have their entire format dedicated to ESPN Radio. ESPN Radio is currently an official part of the ABC Radio network, though the Walt Disney Company is not including the ESPN Radio network or the Radio Disney network in the pending sale of ABC Radio to Citadel Broadcasting.
