FOX SOCCER CHANNEL TICKET TO SOUTH AFRICA
FOX SOCCER CHANNEL TICKET TO SOUTH AFRICA The Fox app, which was released May 19, will attempt to parlay the global presence of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation (Sky Sports in Britain for example) to augment and enhance ESPN’s exclusive TV coverage.
“What we’re bringing in are our experts on TV and the Web and making those voices available,” said Bhavesh Patel, the vice president for interactive media at Fox Sports International. “We won’t have game video, so we have a different attack with our experts and from being a 24/7 soccer network. We’ll have original content, including video of interviews, that you can’t get anywhere else.”
The Fox app is thorough on stadium information and a bit sparse with information about past World Cups. One nice feature is the top-of-the-screen, game-by-game scroll that will be updated with scores, rosters and scoring information once the tournament starts.
Patel said that Fox planned to expand and enhance the app after the World Cup, bringing more video at the start of the next European season.
ORBLIVE Not a dedicated World Cup-only app like some of the others discussed here, OrbLive resides on your smartphone (iPhone, iPod Touch,
iPad or Android) and costs $9.99. Then users will need to download the company’s free MyCast server software (for Macs and PC) for installation on your home computer. But you are not done yet … OrbLive will bring just that, LIVE World Cup matches right to your handset for no additional charge as long as you have access to ESPN3.com — and that access depends on which cable company provides your cable service. You do not even have to be logged to ESPN3.com to check out their live or archived games; install MyCast, fire up OrbLive and the server will connect you to ESPN3.com and you will have a choice of a live or replayed match. In addition to all the sporting event available on ESPN3.com, the OrbLive service provides access to other TV fare, and access to the music and photos stored at home on your computer. But, obviously, for our purposes, the notion of being able to fire up ESPN3.com at home and then head to the beach (or anywhere else) to watch games live has a particular allure.
UNIVISION FĂTBOL — COPA MUNDIAL 2010 The Spanish-language site has the usual tournament news and schedules. In addition to its World Cup coverage, the Univision app tracks leagues from around the world but is noticeably light in coverage of M.L.S. When it was launched early in April, the app rocketed to the top of the most downloaded free sports app on the iTunes store. The app also includes video, and, through it Mi Futbol feature, enables users to customize the app to receive minute-by-minute updates about their favorite team. Like the apps from ESPN, Fox and Goal.com, Univision’s is a complement to more extensive coverage at its new Web site, Univisionfutbol.com.download here
