ESPN Radio, FM 98.7 98.9 and AM 800, owned by MEC, has not made payroll since March. The stations broadcast to the San Diego / Tijuana area. FM 98.7 98.9 is the San Diego home for Angels baseball.
AllAccess.com reports the sales staff left a few weeks back.
ESPN 98.9 is in English, and AM 800 is ESPN Deportes. The transmitters are in Mexico.
ESPN Radio, based on the east coast, could pull programming from the stations due to non-payment. MEC has a long term contract for ESPN Deportes in Mexico and could lose that as well.
