“We are always looking for new, innovative ways to deliver the
best experience for our customers, whether through technology,
programming or the value we provide,” said Alfredo Rodriguez, vice
president of DishLATINO. “Soccer fans are incredibly passionate,
loyal and dedicated, and we developed ZONA FÚTBOL to ensure they
can maximize their viewing experience, whether watching six games
in their living room or one game on the go.”
Zona Fútbol provides customers:
- Multi-Channel View, enabling
viewers to watch up to six games at once. The view shows six tiles
on one screen, with each tile airing content from a different
channel. The six featured channels will rotate based on the soccer
calendar from among several top channels. Fans can access the
multi-channel view via the ZONA FÚTBOL tile on the Hopper or on
channel 870 (also on the Hopper).
- Top leagues and tournaments,
including Liga MX, La Liga, English Premier League, Serie A, Ligue
1, MLS, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Copa
Libertadores, and the International Champions Cup, bringing those
who can’t live without soccer more than 1,000 games through the end
of the year.
- Game Finder/ Guía de Partidos,
an app that makes it easy to find game dates, schedules and scores
all in one place. Fans can customize the app to display their
favorite teams.
- On-the-go viewing with DISH
Anywhere so fans can catch live and recorded games (and the rest of
their English and Spanish programming) on the go via an
Internet-connected tablet, smartphone or computer.
- Social app that displays Tweets
about major soccer events and trends and displays the feed in a
column to the right of the viewer’s screen. Fans can also use the
app to sign in to their own Twitter account and follow the feed
while watching a game.
To raise awareness of ZONA FÚTBOL and its features, DishLATINO
launched a new television ad today illustrating how the enjoyment
of soccer has evolved over time. The spot will run during
prime-time and takes viewers through a journey that begins with
radio and culminates with today’s high-tech features including the
ability to connect with other fans via a social app.
Additionally, DishLATINO has secured popular television
sportscaster Fernando Fiore to help educate customers about the
company’s offerings for soccer fans. Existing customers will see a
new ad in which Fiore discusses soccer content in a sports news
show style format.
The ZONA FÚTBOL experience has been automatically added to
Hopper devices via a software update. Customers can access the apps
via the “quick launch” bar by pressing the blue key on the remote.
