Stars join Telemundo’s NFL broadcast.
July 20, 2010
Telemundo Sports, NBC Sports and the NFL celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month during the New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins game, which will take place at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami, FL. The Dolphins will kickoff the season with an unforgettable show featuring Marc Anthony, Fergie and Enrique Iglesias, which Telemundo will broadcast September 26th beginning at 8:00pm (ET).
For the first time in its history Telemundo will broadcast “Sunday Night Football” completely in Spanish through its stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami. The game will feature Telemundo Sports commentators Jessi Losada, Rene Giraldo and Edgar Lopez.
Before the game begins, five-time Grammy award-winning singer and Dolphins’ limited partner Marc Anthony will sing the national anthem along with The Black Eyed Peas and Dolphins’ limited partner Fergie. Anthony has sold over 11 million albums worldwide, making him one of the most influential artists of his time and a true ambassador of Latin music and culture. His new production “Iconos” was released this summer and occupied the #1 position in sales and airplay for 8 consecutive weeks.
Fergie’s first disc with The Black Eyed Peas thrust the group into the spotlight when Elephunk went triple platinum in 2002. The mega-single “Let’s Get It Started,” earned The Peas their first Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Fergie’s first single “London Bridge” made history as it bulleted its way up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching the #1 spot in three short weeks, the second highest jump ever recorded by Billboard.
Finally, during halftime fans will enjoy a spectacular performance by international superstar Enrique Iglesias. Dolphins’ limited partner and seven-time Grammy-award winner Gloria Estefan will introduce Iglesias. Iglesias is one of the biggest-selling Spanish artists of all time, with over 12 million albums sold and 19 #1 Billboard Latin hits across the Americas. Iglesias recently released his new album, Euphoria, which is his first album to feature songs in both Spanish and English. “I Like It” has become an international hit single.
