Comcast Expands Spanish-Language Coverage of the 2008 Democratic National Convention
Comcast Corporation, the nation’s leading
provider of entertainment, information and communications products and
services, and Entravision Communications Corporation have teamed-up to
deliver Spanish-language content for the upcoming 2008 Democratic
National Convention.
As part of the partnership, Comcast will provide Spanish-language
translation services for content and programming from the Democratic
National Convention, which will give Entravision up to eight hours of
content per day to air across its network of radio and television
stations and stream on its websites.
In addition, Comcast Latino, the online destination for Latinos, will
stream video content of the Democratic National Convention on its
popular site, Comcast.terra.com, which is powered by Terra.com. Terra is
the largest original digital content producer for U.S. Hispanics and
includes 29 channels in Spanish featuring News, Music, Entertainment,
Sports and Terra TV, as well as community areas, blogs and services.
Terra.com has 2.6 million unique viewers in the U.S. per month.
"We are excited about this partnership with
Entravision and Comcast Latino to provide this important content in
Spanish to Latinos across the country,” said
David L. Cohen, Executive Vice President, Comcast Corporation. "Many
more Latinos will now have the opportunity to be a part of the electoral
process and experience the messages conveyed during the Democratic
National Convention.” "The translation and technology services
offered by Comcast and Entravision will play an important role in
equipping our citizens with the tools to more fully participate in the
Convention,” said U.S. Senator Ken Salazar. "For communities who have not engaged in the political process due to
language barriers, this partnership provides a tremendous community
service.” "Entravision is pleased to be partnering with
Comcast to provide this valuable content to the Latino community,”
said Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Entravision. "We are committed to encouraging
the Latino community to become engaged in the political process and
providing information from the Democratic National Convention through
our outlets will allow the messages to reach hundreds of thousands of
Spanish-language radio listeners and TV viewers.”
Last month, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC)
announced that Comcast Corporation will produce simultaneous, online
streaming coverage of the Convention in Spanish at DemConvention.com and
make available a broad range of Convention content through its signature
video on demand service. The DNCC also announced that Comcast has been
named the Convention’s Official Cable
Television and Video-On-Demand (VOD) provider. The 2008 Democratic
National Convention will run from Monday, August 25, until Thursday,
August 28, in Denver, Colorado.
"From day one, we set out to make this year’s
Convention different – one that is more
accessible to the American people and more inclusive of our Party’s
‘big tent,’”
said Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the Democratic National Convention
Committee. "Working with Comcast to expand
the reach of our unprecedented Spanish language simulcast is yet another
example of how we are throwing open the doors of this Convention and
bringing all Americans into this historic experience.” About Comcast Corporation
