ESPN Deportes

ESPN Deportes (Spanish pronunciation: [i.espiˈen deˈpoɾtes], lit. 'ESPN Sports') is an American multinational Spanish-language pay television sports channel owned by ESPN, a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which owns a controlling 72% stake via indirect subsidiary ABC Inc.), Hearst Communications (which owns 18%) and the National Football League (which owns 10%). The network is aimed primarily at the Hispanic community in the United States. The channel broadcasts from studio facilities at ESPN's traditional bases of operations in Los Angeles and Bristol, Connecticut along with their Mexican base in Mexico City. ESPN Deportes is available on most pay-television providers including Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Comcast, DirecTV, Dish Network, Optimum Communications and U-verse TV. According to Nielsen, ESPN Deportes is available to at least 5.5 million Hispanic households in the United States through a programming package that includes the channel. Conversely, ESPN does not maintain second audio program audio feeds on any of their English-language channels in the United States (except for ABC's SAP Spanish coverage for the NBA Finals), allowing full exclusivity to ESPN Deportes for the Spanish rights to their properties.
