Fox Sports en Espanol Launches Tribuna Fox Sports

Highly-Charged, in depth new program that offers passionate US based Mexican soccer fans the opportunity to interact with relevant on-air hosts in Mexico, where the shows originate from

LOS ANGELES, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Fox Sports en Espanol announced today the launch of Tribuna Fox Sports, an interactive new program debuting on July 27th that will focus on Mexican soccer and the latest developments of the Mexican National Team. The show, airing Monday to Friday from 11:30pm-12:30am ET (8:30-9:30pm PT), will bring viewers closer to their favorite teams by providing insight about the World Cup, the Mexican Soccer League and major tournaments such as Interliga, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana and UEFA Champions League. Unlike any other Spanish-language sports show, viewers will have the opportunity to submit questions and opinions to the hosts via phone, e-mail, text message, and through the Fox Sports en Espanol website (www.foxsportsla.msn.com).

"Tribuna Fox Sports caters to the passionate Mexican soccer fan who wants to be immersed in the game," said David Sternberg, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Fox Sports en Espanol. "No other program offers the same level of relevancy, energy, expertise, and interactivity."

Tribuna's soccer-savvy host panel based in Mexico will comprise top-notch commentators, former players and coaches, and a well-known referee of Mexico's Primera Division. The four regular hosts from Monday to Friday will include Eugenio Diaz, a long-time soccer commentator and former coach; Antonio Carlos Santos, former Brazilian player on Club America and anchor of the popular Mexican sports program Los Protagonistas; Fabian Estay, former midfielder for the Chilean National Team as well as for several teams in Mexico's Primera Division, Pilar Perez, the beautiful runway model and soccer enthusiast from Sinaloa and Bonifacio Nunez, the veteran Mexican referee, will be among the hosts every Monday.

Tribuna's launch comes at a particularly crucial moment in Mexican soccer. With the Mexican National Team entering the final phase of World Cup qualifiers, Mexican fans around the world are eagerly awaiting each of the remaining matches, including a highly-anticipated face-off against the United States on August 12th. Mexican soccer's Apertura Tournament will also get underway this weekend as Indios plays Monterrey on Saturday, July 25th and Monarcas takes on Santos on Sunday, July 26th.

The 200-episode first season of Tribuna Fox Sports will run for 40 weeks through May 2010. The complete schedule of Fox Sports en Espanol's telecasts is available at www.foxsportsla.msn.com.
