World Soccer Weekly, heard Sundays on KMPC 1540 LA is hosted by English ex-pats Steven Cohen and Nick Geber both . They will be bringing their brand and passion for global soccer to a national audience as of Sunday October 20th. This is the first soccer show ever to reach syndication in the United States and signals a clear shift in the popularity of the sport.
With MLS attendance up 6% this year and with the tremendous success of the US men’s national team at this summer’s World Cup the timing could not be any better. “We are certainly encouraged by both those facts, but also the fact that America is really cultivating some world class talent and as a result the product on the field is getting better and more popular. You can’t fool the public with a poor product it is as simple as that” said Steven Cohen CEO of Soccer Weekly, Inc the production company that produces World Soccer Weekly.
“Additionally there really is a great appetite for a talk radio show dealing with all the world’s great soccer leagues - from England to Mexico, from Spain to Argentina and of course this is THE melting pot for people from all over the world and soccer is really a year round sport. We are very excited about this huge development” added Nick Geber President of Soccer Weekly Inc.
