MLB All-Star Game Returns to Fox Sports en Espa ol for the Fourth Consecutive Year

For the fourth
year in a row, Fox Sports en Espa ol will bring the excitement of the Major
League Baseball All-Star Game to Spanish-speaking audiences throughout the

United States.
This year’s 78th Annual Midsummer Classic between the stars of the American and
National Leagues will air exclusively live in Spanish on
Tuesday, July 10, from
AT&T
Park in

San
Francisco, starting with a half-hour pre-game show at
8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.

The network’s
exclusive telecast is supported by more than 14 advertisers, led by
General Motors’ Chevrolet Division as the telecast’s title sponsor. Fox
Sports en Espa ol extended its rights for the Major League Baseball All-Star
Game earlier this year through the 2013 season via a sublicense agreement
with Fox Broadcasting Company, similar to the arrangement under which the
all-sports Spanish-language cable network has televised the MLB postseason
since 2001.

“We are
proud to be the only U.S. TV network to once again offer Latino sports fans
live Spanish-language coverage of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game,”
said David Sternberg, executive vice president and general manager of Fox
Sports en Espa ol. “Over the past three years, our telecasts of the Midsummer
Classic have attracted large numbers of loyal viewers and secured advertising
revenue growth thanks to the popularity of baseball among Latinos. With dozens
of players of Hispanic origin nominated to participate this year,
we will not only bring our viewers closer to their favorite players
and teams, but will also offer the perfect complement to our exclusive
Spanish-language coverage of the MLB weekly Saturday game, playoffs and World
Series in October.”

The
half-hour pre-game show will be hosted by Adri n Fern ndez. Pepe Mantilla will
handle play-by-play while Carlos Hernandez will provide color commentary during
the game.
