The Los Angeles Chargers have signed multi-year broadcast agreements with KABC-TV, iHeartMedia Los Angeles, KAZA-TV Azteca America 54 and KFWB 980 AM, the team announced on Wednesday.

Following in the footsteps of the former St. Louis Rams last year, the Chargers will become L.A.’s second NFL team when they kick off the upcoming football season playing at StubHub Center in Carson, California.

The team will take their “Fight for LA” to the airwaves and collaborate extensively with each broadcast partner to develop content such as preseason games, exclusive shoulder programming, behind-the-scenes shows, news features, community events and promotions — totally nearly 400 hours of programming, according to a statement from the Chargers’ press office.
