TUDN Radio (formerly Univision Deportes Radio) is a U.S. Spanish-language sports radio network operated by Uforia Audio Network, a division of TelevisaUnivision. It launched on March 15, 2017 on ten AM and FM radio stations, most of which previously affiliated with the ill-fated Univision America until its 2015 closure. The network features stations in the states of California, Texas, Illinois, Nevada, New York and Florida, covering half of the country's Hispanic population.
While its main focus is on soccer, Univision Deportes Radio competed against ESPN Deportes Radio, owned by ESPN Inc., until 2019 which had 40 stations in 14 states.[1]
On July 20, 2019, the network was renamed TUDN Radio, as part of a wider multi-platform relaunch of the Univision Deportes division as TUDN, in partnership with Televisa.[2][3] With the September 2019 discontinuation of ESPN Deportes Radio, the network picked up some of its former stations (including Los Angeles' KWKW).[4]

Perspective
At the launch of the network, its programming lineup consisted of mainly radio versions of select Univision Deportes Network shows, such as Locura Deportiva (which was originally broadcast on Univision América), Contacto Deportivo, and Fútbol Club, as well as original programming including Buenos Días América, El Tiradero, and Tribuna Interactiva. In 2022, the network plans to begin airing Desde el Diamante (From the Diamond), a weekly show devoted to Major League Baseball news.[5]
The network also broadcasts select Liga MX, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions League and UEFA-sanctioned soccer matches. The network started airing Major League Baseball games during the 2021 playoffs, followed by select regular season games (mainly Spanish simulcasts of Sunday Night Baseball), the Home Run Derby, and the All-Star Game from the following season onward as well as select games of the 2023 World Baseball Classic.[5]
