International TV Packages
With the FIFA World Cup 2018 around the corner, one of the best cable and internet companies is readying to entertain the soccer fans in the US who subscribe to XFINITY® X1. As part of that, Comcast® has decided to integrate the FIFA World Cup coverage on two networks in Spanish and English to XFINITY® X1 platform. While Fox Sports™ will broadcast the global football fiesta for English speakers Comcast-owned Telemundo will offer the same for the Spanish-speaking community in the country.
Spanish is spoken by a majority of the Latinos, the descendants from certain North American countries, who make up a portion of the total population of the US. It is also seen that people of Hispanic descent settled in America speak Spanish, so having coverage in both languages can help the Football World Cup reach households with Comcast XFINITY® subscription. The soccer event is slated to be held in Russia from June 14 until July 15 and will feature 32 teams competing for the coveted trophy.
With video features that integrate the coverage of Fox Sports™ and Telemundo on XFINITY® X1, Comcast® has announced a bilingual viewing experience of FIFA World Cup to soccer fans in the US who also subscribes to the cable, voice, and internet service. Comcast® is one of the top cable and internet companies, whose bundled packages are bettered with advanced features of X1.
