Super Bowl XLII Takes Center Stage at Fox Sports en Espanol and at FOXSPORTSLA.MSN.COM

Fox Sports en Español, the country’s leading Spanish-language sports network, announced today it has partnered with Fox Broadcasting Company and the National Football League (NFL) to provide Latino football fans enhanced coverage of Super Bowl XLII. Through a combination of original Spanish-language programs and up-to-the-minute news and highlights via foxsportsla.msn.com direct from Glendale (Arizona), the network will provide Spanish-speaking fans all they need to know before tuning into FOX’s live game telecast on February 3, which will include Spanish-language play-by-play commentary on SAP by veteran announcers John Laguna and Pepe Mantilla. "Historic by all accounts, Super Bowl XLII is already shaping up to be the most anticipated American sporting event of the year and there exists a tremendous opportunity to further engage Spanish-speaking fans for whom football is as much a part of the American way of life as is their love of soccer or baseball an expression of national pride,” said David Sternberg, executive vice president and general manager of Fox Sports en Español. "We’re tremendously excited to partner with the NFL to provide our viewers with in-depth coverage of the Super Bowl from a Latin American perspective and to collaborate with our colleagues at FBC to expand the reach of their live game telecast on February 3.” SUPER BOWL XLII ON FOX SPORTS EN ESPAÑOL In December 2007, Fox Sports en Español opened a production facility in Mexico, driven in part by its commitment to providing fresh programming to the U.S. Hispanic community which is roughly 65 percent of Mexican origin. Central to that decision, was expanding coverage of the NFL – broadcast rights that Fox Sports International has owned in Mexico for the past 10 years. The Super Bowl programs debuting on the network later this week in the U.S. are among the first fruits of that strategy and would have not been possible without the new production capability south of the border. "The NFL is thrilled that FOX Sports en Español will be on-site covering all of the excitement leading up to the Super Bowl," said Peter O'Reilly, NFL director or marketing. "We are especially excited that our Spanish-speaking fans in the U.S. will be able to enjoy Super Bowl XLII via Spanish-language SAP on FOX. This is a great example of the increasing ways in which our Hispanic fans can experience the NFL."
