ESPN's high definition channel will now be available to Charter cable subscribers, it was announced today.
ESPN Deportes, the Disney-owned sports network's Spanish language channel, will also become available in Charter's digital tier.
Carl Vogel, Charter's president and CEO, said:
"This agreement provides a long-term price-value relationship that is good for our customers and shareholders alike. They were negotiated well in advance of our current expiration date and as a result of this early completion, we expect to enjoy meaningful financial benefits in the latter portion of 2004."
Sean Bratches, executive vice president of affiliate sales and marketing for ESPN, said:
"We are very pleased to have negotiated agreements that not only provide long-term benefits to both parties but are also great for our fans. In addition to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS and ESPN Classic, Charter customers can now receive ESPN HD, which offers high-definition television's most compelling content, sports, and ESPN Deportes, a new Spanish-language sports network with the same level of excellence as ESPN."
