 and most-watched Spanish-language sports cable network. Hosting its seventh upfront presentation today before an audience of nearly 1,000 media and advertising professionals, Fox Sports en Espanol served up a powerful combination of exclusive live sports programming and best-in-class multiple content delivery platform offerings that position it to capture an even greater share of viewers and advertisers in BY'08.

Category Leading Distribution Footprint

With nearly three times the distribution of ESPN Deportes ESPN Deportes is a cable television network dedicated to broadcasting sports-related programming 24 hours a day in the Spanish language. Deportes means "sports" in Spanish. , Fox Sports en Espanol added approximately 500,000 new households over the past year alone. Now in 4.5 million Hispanic households and in more than 13 million homes overall, the network recorded a seven percent increase in distribution across the top 10 Hispanic DMAs over the past year and continues to bolster its category-leading distribution footprint with strong gains over CY06 in New York New York, state, United States

"We've grown tremendously over the past ten years and are proud of the strong relationship we've built with our loyal advertisers and viewers," said David Sternberg, executive vice president and general manager of Fox Sports en Espanol. "As we embark on our second decade as the leading Spanish-language sports network in the U.S., we look forward to continuing to deliver the high quality programming and innovative solutions our fans and sponsors have come to expect from us."

Targeted and Cost Effective Delivery of Adults and Men 18-49

Fox Sports en Espanol continues to reign supreme among advertisers as the most cost effective, targeted vehicle for reaching the right mix of adult and men 18-49. In fact, during a time when national Spanish-language television as a whole grew by only 12 percent, in 2006 Fox Sports en Espanol scored a 32 percent increase in advertising sales over the previous year. Strong ratings are just one of the drivers for this success.

 Nielsen Media Research, over the past six months (dating back to Q4/06) Fox Sports en Espanol delivered 11 of the top 20 highest-rated sports programs in all of Spanish-language television among adults 18-49; and 12 of the top 20 among men 18-49.

The April 25 Copa de Campeones final between Mexican powerhouses Pachuca and Chivas currently ranks as the network's top-rated program of all time, as well as the year's number one Spanish-language cable program among HH, adults 18-49 and men 18-49. That evening, Fox Sports en Espanol out-delivered Telemundo, Telefutura, and Galavision combined across both adults and men 18-49.

Year-to-year total day coverage area ratings and impressions among adults 18-49 have increased by 19 and 40 percent, respectively. Similarly, over the same period, Fox Sports en Espanol's coverage area ratings and impressions delivery among men 18-49 increased by 18 and 38 percent, respectively.

Prime time ratings growth was also solid, registering a 22 and 39 percent increase in coverage area ratings and impressions, respectively, among adults 18-49; for men 18-49, prime time coverage area ratings and impressions have risen by 18 and 36 percent, respectively.

Another important contributor to Fox Sports en Espanol's increasing influence among advertisers is the purchasing power Purchasing Power

According to a recent study conducted by Nielsen Media Research and Simmons, not only does the Hispanic cable household out-deliver its broadcast counter parts on purchasing power, but Fox Sports en Espanol's audience in particular was found to have the highest household income of any measured network in Spanish-language television. By combining its viewers' purchasing power and relentless passion for sports with exclusive "can't miss" live programming in their language, Fox Sports en Espanol is helping advertisers move away from simply counting the people they reach and instead hone in on reaching the people who count.
