CHARLOTTE ó The Carolina Panthers are set to become the 12th NFL team to broadcast their games in Spanish.
The team announced Thursday that Charlotte radio station WNOW-AM will air all its games in Spanish in 2008. The area has seen a dramatic growth in its Hispanic population, and team officials said they wanted to better serve that growing fan base.
Because WNOW is a daytime-only station, the four preseason games and the Monday night game on Dec. 8 against Tampa Bay will be broadcast on tape delay.
The agreement calls for WNOW and the team to split revenues from advertising sales.
