Univision to Provide Sounders Spanish TV Coverage
Jaime Méndez and former Sounder Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar to Present Show
April 17
From Sounder to Broadcaster, Hugo in Action Last Year
Play-by-play will be provided by KUNS Noticias Noroeste Sports Director Jaime Méndez with former USL Sounder Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar as analyst. Alcarez-Cuellar’s expertise includes a total of six years as a professional player in the Pacific Northwest.
“Our partnership with KUNS and THIS-TV will allow us to better serve and further strengthen our relationship with our Spanish speaking fans, as well as provide a platform by which our corporate partners can communicate directly with the Hispanic community”, said Sounders FC VP Corporate Partnerships Ron Jenkins.
KUNS 51 will also be the home to a weekly half-hour show on every Saturday from 6-6:30 p.m. ‘Sounders FC en Acción’ will be hosted by Méndez, and sports reporter/producer Elimar Ugueto.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Jaime Méndez was delighted with the news and told us, ““I am very excited to be able to bring these live Sounders FC games in Spanish. I think the Spanish speaking community in this area needed more ways to get involved with the local team and what better way than with a live broadcast En Español.
I am glad to be working with Hugo Alcaraz, ex Sounders USL. He has a vast knowledge of local soccer and being a pro player adds power to his color commentary and game/play analysis. I yet have to yell a gooooooooooooooool!!!!! For our team but when it comes, I promise I won’t be shy about it, just tune in… you’ll hear it!”

Que gusto me da, me gustava mucho como jugava Hugo. He is an incredible passer. I will definetly be watching, Luis
The Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar news makes me happy. He was one that I really thought had a chance to make the MLS squad, and it kind of broke my heart that he didn’t. Good to see he’s still able to stay engaged.
