Time Warner Cable and Disney & ESPN Media Networks have entered to launch 24-hour Spanish-language sports network ‘ESPN Deportes’ to Time Warner Cable’s Digital Basic level of service subscribers in Texas on September 7, 2009. ESPN Deportes is currently available only on Spanish-language package subscribers in Texas.
ESPN Deportes will be available on digital basic in seven of the top 10 U.S. Hispanic markets that includes Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Dallas-Forth Worth, San Antonio, Phoenix and Harlingen.
David Preschlack, executive vice president, Affiliate Sales and Marketing, Disney and ESPN Media Networks said, “This agreement represents another step forward in our efforts to make ESPN Deportes more broadly available to fans in major and emerging U.S. Hispanic markets across the country. ESPN Deportes will be available to almost one million Time Warner Cable digital basic customers in Dallas, San Antonio, Harlingen, El Paso, and Austin, and the fact that it coincided with ESPN’s 30th Anniversary is a tangible example of how our mission to serve the fan has evolved over the years.”
Gary Underwood, Time Warner Cable’s vice president of communications for North Texas said, “Time Warner Cable in North Texas is excited to make ESPN Deportes available as part of our popular Digital Basic tier. This change represents even more value and diversity for our digital customers here in North Texas.”
