ESPN Loses Rights in Latin America to Champions League

NYON: UEFA has chosen Fox Sports Latin America’s pay channels, instead of keeping ESPN, as its broadcast partner in Central and Latin America.

Fox now has the rights to the Champions League and the Europa League—the re-branded UEFA Cup—for the 2009-2012 seasons.

UEFA, who has yet to assign the free-TV rights, did not disclose what Fox paid for the competitions.
