\n\tMIAMI: Through a deal between NBCUniversal and FIFA, U.S. Hispanic networks Telemundo and NBC Universo are set to air 560 hours of soccer across multiple platforms this year.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe extensive coverage will include the live telecast of four 2015 FIFA Soccer Events, featuring 344 hours of online and mobile live streams in Spanish. Between May and October of this year, both channels will feature comprehensive FIFA coverage showcasing exclusive content, including country and player profiles, behind-the-scenes footage from each venue, pre-match analysis, every play-by-play call and more. Fans will be able to access content on all their devices across multiple platforms, including live telecasts, live streams, VOD, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.<\/p>\n
\n\t“We are proud to be the first media company to offer such a comprehensive coverage of FIFA World Cup events in the United States in Spanish,” said Joe Uva, the chairman of Hispanic enterprises and content at NBCUniversal. “Starting in May, we will leverage all of our linear and digital platforms to bring to U.S. Hispanics the best soccer in the world presented by an experienced team of talent and professionals with a deep understanding of sports broadcasting and storytelling.”<\/p>\n
\n\t“Telemundo will take the 2015 FIFA soccer events coverage to an unprecedented level,” said Luis Silberwasser, the president of Telemundo Network. “We will broadcast more Women’s and U-20 matches than any other broadcast network in the history of Spanish-language TV, including the final match for the Women’s World Cup, which will return to Spanish-language network TV after eight years. Ultimately, our viewers will enjoy the best soccer in the world with the high quality and expert commentary they have come to expect from us.”<\/p>\n
\n\t“Soccer has a unique and passionate relationship with Latino sports fans, and as a Spanish-language cable TV home for world-class soccer all summer long, NBC Universo will immerse our viewers in all of the excitement, drama and heart-pounding action around the ‘beautiful game,’” said Rubén Mendiola, the president of NBC Universo. “We continue to evolve as a leading sports and entertainment destination across multiple platforms by delivering the biggest moments, best events and remarkable storytelling that resonate with Hispanics throughout the U.S., as well as connects with our diverse Latin culture.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
