ESPN's sports network for Hispanics and Latinos has opened a new production facility in Mexico City for its news and information programming.



Celebrating 12 years since its launch in 2004, ESPN Deportes has also unveiled an updated look and feel and an array of production upgrades for all of its programming.

The new fully-equipped centre is designed to support 24/7 programming and multi-platform content production. From the Mexican studio, some of ESPN Deportes’ top news and information programmes will be produced, including Futbol Picante, Futbol Center, Golpe a Golpe, Los Capitanes, NFL Live and SportsCenter.

“ESPN’s newest production centre in Mexico is officially off the ground, featuring the top-of-the-line technology that has always distinguished the company’s commitment to innovation,” said Rodolfo Martinez, VP of production for ESPN Deportes and ESPN International. “The upgrades and expansion were designed to enhance our unique and diverse Spanish-language content with interactive compelling storytelling and further engagement.”

Some of the new features include a custom-made curve HD screen, a multiscreen display and touchscreen monitor for in-depth analysis and a boxing ring for Golpe a Golpe's demo area.

The new facility serves audiences in the US, Mexico and Central America.
