ESPN Deportes Debuts Daily News and Commentary Program
ESPN Deportes will launch the network’s latest news and commentary program Juego Cruzado. This program will feature a core group of panelists from some of the leading Spanish-language newspapers including La Opinion, Milenio, El Nuevo Herald and El Diario La Prensa. Two additional newspapers from Dallas and Puerto Rico will be joining in February 2009.
“Sports news and commentary is truly one of the elements that sets us apart from the pack and adding Juego Cruzado to the mix will further strengthen our leadership position in sports news and information,” said Chris Calcinari, vice president, production and operations, ESPN Deportes and ESPN International. “We are honored to partner with such reputable newspapers and journalists to bring our viewers a show that will be unpredictable, topical and full of hard-hitting opinion and debate.”
