"N.C. State hopes a Spanish radio broadcast of the men's basketball game on Sunday on WCLY-1550 will help find new fans for the Manada de Lobos.

The 2 p.m. broadcast of the regular-season finale against Boston College will serve as a test run, said Brian Asbill, the general manager of Wolfpack Sports Marketing.

The Capitol Broadcasting Company's AM station, which carries ESPN Deportes programming, could team up with N.C. State for future broadcasts in football, soccer and baseball.

"Any time we have the chance to expand our reach and promote the Wolfpack brand to a new audience, we want to explore it," Asbill said.

Raul Saenz, a veteran of NBA, NFL and college football broadcasts, will call the game in Spanish, a first for N.C. State.

The University of Miami has a Spanish radio partner for football and select men's basketball and baseball games.

Other than the Hurricanes, though, this is uncharted territory for the ACC and a first for the Triangle.

"We hope this energizes fans across the Triangle and turns into something we are able to do on a more regular basis," Brian Maloney, the general manager of Capitol's sports radio properties, said in a statement."

Oh, God, the reverse translation of that is ridiculous.

"volume of sales" indeed

Brilliant idea

Since most of the immigrants I know are relatively happy with their lot in life, with the only glaring hole being the inability to listen to Wolfpack basketball

In March 2009, Konnan and Jack Evans were involved in a backstage fight with Juventud Guerrera.[26] The fight started after Guerrera accused Konnan of defecating in his bag, which Konnan owned up to, and then Evans, with whom Guerrera had had a match that evening, grabbed Guerrera from behind, provoking the fight.[26] Guerrera suffered a broken nose in the incident.

For NCSU, they probably wouldn't have to shout it too much more than at a regular soccer game.

Don't kid yourself. This is a terrible idea. What does it do for NCSU? No one except for maybe Javy "Speedy" Gonzalez's relatives are going to listen to that.

It also places NCSU in a questionable political position.

NC has the 8th largest illegal immigrant population in the US.

542,000 people in NC speak Spanish at home. 308,000 of that group speak English "less than very well". That's almost 60 percent. It seems likely that the majority of the 308,000 are not legal citizens, and that is most likely a conservative estimate.

Illegal immigration is a touchy subject. It seems like by broadcasting games in Spanish, however, NCSU could be seen as taking a side and may be alienating and inviting criticism from alumni that are predominantly conservative.

With the rate the Hispanic population is growing, whether by illegal or legal immigration, it seems to me that it does the athletic department much more good than harm to reach out to that section of the population, especially if UNC and Duke aren't

Does more good? I don't really see how. From a business/marketing perspective, yes, you do want to increase the fan base because that translates into increased revenues from ticket sales and merchandising.

The question is though, how much of a return would NCSU really get from marketing to a demographic that doesn't speak English? What kind of salary range does that demographic have? My guess is that that group isn't going to have a ton of disposable income to be throwing around for season tickets.

Even from a viewership/listenership standpoint for generating money from sponsors on tv and radio, how many spanish speakers are really going to want to support NCSU sports to make that a profitable segment?

Realizo que este hilo de rosca está sobre los que han comenzado su propia compañía…. cuál no tengo. Óigame hacia fuera, yo puede ofrecer quizá una cierta penetración. Estoy en ventas exteriores, que es actualmente salario and commissiono, pero me trasladaré a la comisión recta que comienza al principio del julio de 2010.

He estado en esta posición desde el julio de 2009. Tengo competición de varios viajantes directos de las ventas de la fabricación, distribuidores grandes, y distribuidores locales. Aquí están las ventajas y las desventajas de cada uno: Ventajas directas: El conocimiento inmediato de la nueva tecnología, ninguna marca media del hombre para arriba, una cuenta de envío (pagada por el fabricante o el comprador de mercancías), acceso a una gama más grande de artículos de la no-materia, inventario del control, tiene acceso a muchos distribuidores que puedan vender con eficacia sus mercancías que aumenta la cuota de mercado, y precios fijados de la materia que fabrican. Desventajas directas: Tenga típicamente 1-3 viajantes de las ventas por la región (es decir suroriental, mid-atlantic, noreste, etc.)

limitando el número de cuentas que pueden manejar con éxito/que frío-llaman, de servicio de atención al cliente físico de la carencia o de servicio técnico físico disponible para o comprable para usuarios más pequeños o en conjunto, no son a veces digno de confianza porque irán adentro detrás de sus distribuidores que vendan su materia a una cuenta en las granes cantidades (es decir faltaron una cuenta grande, y han descubierto sobre ella a través de un distribuidor que vendía su producto particular) que lleva al distribuidor que no vende su producto más, tienen demasiados distribuidores el vender del producto que conduce en última instancia el precio del sistema abajo con desviaciones, confían posiblemente encendido distribuidores para vender realmente el producto, y competición de otras fuentes directas.

Ventajas grandes del distribuidor: tenga acceso a otras materias que vayan de común acuerdo con otros fabricantes (los colmados pobres del ejemplo venden la leche así como el cereal), consiguen la tasación directa, muchas localizaciones regionalmente o nacionalmente facilitando la carga del envío de compradores con localizaciones múltiples, cliente del servicio u o técnico personal, muchos viajantes que puedan cubrir un territorio más amplio, acceso de las ventas a los fabricantes múltiples de la misma materia permitiendo mantener los precios cheque, programas de servicio esos compañías más pequeñas can' oferta y abastecedores directos can' de t; fósforo de t en precio o valor, y expertos de muchas muchas materias en comparación con una o de algunas. Desventajas grandes del distribuidor: distribuidores locales más pequeños que crean las guerras de precios (piense a Michael Scott Co de papel contra Dunder-Mifflin), mfg' directo; s que entra detrás y que roba el negocio, acceso limitado a todo el mfg' s (usted won' marcas de fábrica conocidas del balanceo de Harris del hallazgo de t en el león del alimento y el versa de la visa), can' precios verdad fijados de t porque it' s basado en oferta y demanda, gerencia del territorio, y perspectivas resistentes del crecimiento en economías más lentas (esto es verdad para directo también realmente) Ventajas locales del distribuidor: Típicamente un buen ol' el ajuste del muchacho donde el vendedor y el comprador se conocen por años (esto sucede en todos los niveles, pero sobre todo en el nivel local), gente local es llanura correcta la calle y se puede utilizar en emergencias, si las compras locales del individuo en arriba bastantes volúmenes entonces allí no son ninguna carga de envío al usuario final, y el acceso a ambos mfg' directos; s y distribuidores grandes. Desventajas locales del distribuidor: batido fácilmente en precio, el arsenal de materias, el arsenal de tecnología, la carencia del personal entrenado, el flujo de liquidez bajo, etc etc etc.

El es lo que he notado en mis seis meses, yo está seguro que hay abundancia más que necesita mencionar. La manera soy ajuste mismo aparte pues una persona de las ventas es ésta: Voy después de que las cuentas grandes ahora mientras que soy nuevo. Las cuentas grandes, si las aterrizo, tomarán el cuidado de mí mientras que soy nuevo y constructivo una base de clientes. El dinero hecho apagado de ésos permite que se centre tiempo libre en cuentas más pequeñas que me consigan márgenes más altos. Aumento cuentas grandes, yo quisiera tener 5-10 de éstos, después consigo 20-30 cuentas del medio. Si pierdo 1 o 2 cuentas grandes, las 20-30 cuentas del medio me mantienen flotando mientras que voy después de nuevas cuentas grandes. I don' tiempo realmente inútil de t en pequeñas cuentas simplemente porque pagan básicamente el desayuno o algo realmente pequeño.

Diré esto, si usted can' t consigue una cuenta grande en los primeros 6-8 meses (si se asume que le tenga flujo de liquidez que usted puede montar este largo) que usted podría estar en un mundo del apuro. Si usted puede conseguir uno, realmente hará yendo después de los otros mucho más agradable y menos agotador. It' el perder muy de agotamiento de s simplemente apenas en caulquier momento en cualquier cosa con excepción de cuentas grandes en el mismo principio. Usted trabaja apenas como difícilmente en las cuentas de tamaño mediano y ve 1/3 a 1/36 del dinero en mi situación. Si usted tiene cualesquiera otras preguntas, usted puede P.M. yo.

¡Espero que esto ayude en el más leve!

I like this idea. More fans equals more money coming into the university that I love. We need all the money that we can get to compete against the Duke and UNC brand machines. Let's face it the latin population in this state is growing by leaps and bounds, and it'd be great to get them to side their allegiance with us when their kids end up deciding on where to go to college. We are the common man's university, unlike that elitist BS institution 20 miles west of Raleigh.

We can now compete with UNC in terms of picking up new fans: actual broadcasts to attract fans instead of easy, cheap apparel, ala the wal-mart UNC hispanic fans we are seeing now.

This is actually a good business idea in terms of marketing and attracting a new demographic.

Until our teams are actually capable of winning, I doubt anyone will give two shits about listening to us play on the radio (english or spanish). I went to State and sometimes I do not want to even watch us play on TV.
