"We feel that this type of demographic specific promotion can be extremely compelling and effective at generating maximum return on investment for our advertising dollars."
Formed in 2001 when ESPN and Major League Baseball began to offer Spanish-Language telecasts of the Home Run Derby and select Sunday Night Baseball games, ESPN Deportes now includes, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Deportes HD television, which offer over 1,000 hours of unparalleled Spanish-language sports programming to over 8 million Hispanic viewers monthly; ESPN Deportes Radio, the only round-the-clock national Spanish-Language sports radio network in the United States; ESPNDeportes.com, the Number 1 Spanish-language sports website among Spanish-preferred fans in the US; ESPN Deportes La Revista, the first general sports Spanish-Language magazine in the United States, and ESPN Deportes Mobile, the brand's emerging business which offers Spanish-language sports content to fans via wireless devices.
Mr. Bukhari concluded, "ESPN Deportes connects with over 29 million Hispanic sports fans utilizing many different channels, including television, radio, online, and print. During phase-one of the proposed iData 4G Mobile Broadband Hotspot advertising campaign, the Company will focus on leveraging the growing popularity of ESPN Deportes Radio before shifting the advertising purchase to include other ESPN Deportes properties both online and in television."
