November 2, 2007 -- ESPN360.com, ESPN’s signature live sports broadband network, will feature its most robust programming schedule ever in November – delivering at least 267 live sports events to fans during the month. The schedule will feature major U.S. sports competitions including the NBA, college football and the start of the most comprehensive online college basketball offering available – delivering more than 900 men’s and women’s college basketball games this season. Additionally, ESPN360.com will bring U.S. fans a full lineup of global sporting events including the UEFA Champions League soccer, Venezuelan and Mexican baseball, URBA Rugby, Argentine Open Polo Championships, Hurlingham Open Polo and exclusive coverage of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.

The record November programming lineup comes as the recently re-launched service has seen increased usage since unveiling its new look and programming strategy in September. Since the September 4 relaunch, sports fans have logged more than 150,000 hours viewing games on ESPN360.com.

In September, ESPN unveiled a dynamic new ESPN360.com user interface, with improved video quality, a mosaic of screens that lets users follow multiple events simultaneously, and expanded controls including live-event pause, rewind and fast forward). That, combined with a new strategy which transformed the service into a 24/7 live sports destination online, dramatically increased its live programming. In a 12-month period, ESPN360.com will deliver more than 2,500 live, global sports events (more than ESPN and ESPN2 combined).

The service is available at no additional charge to fans who receive their high-speed Internet connection from an affiliated service provider. It has more than doubled its distribution since August 2006, and is available in more than 17 million households nationwide via more than 25 Internet service providers around the country including AT&T, Verizon, RCN, Frontier, Cavalier, Charter, Mediacom, Conway, Grande Communications and more.
