A group of seven sports networks -- including ESPN, Fox and Univision Deportes -- are banding together to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts starting tonight. The nets will carry more than 10 hours of Liga MX games plus shoulder programming today and tomorrow, with proceeds benefitting the American Red Cross relief efforts in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Florida, Texas and the Caribbean. “Sports has always been a great unifier and a vehicle of social change,” said Univision President of Sports Juan Carlos Rodriguez. “Through this historic effort, we can bring all our resources, platforms and fans together to make a difference in the lives of communities that are in dire need.”
A programming “road block” starts tonight at 7:00pm ET with the studio show “Unidos por los Nuestros” that will be co-produced out of Univision Deportes’ Miami studios and will run across Azteca America, ESPN Deportes, ESPN News, Watch ESPN, FOX Deportes, FS2, FOX Sports Go, Fusion, UDN, Univision Deportes App, Univision Deportes Radio and Univision Now.
