Introducing ESPN Favorites Feed, ESPN for Apple News and More
Today we have introduced the Favorites Feed to our ESPN Apps (get it on iOS and on Android here). It is a big step forward towards deeper, more dynamic content for personalized users. This combines content from across your favorite teams and leagues: analysis, videos, highlights, social content, etc. All of your favorite teams sit atop the feed in a swipable carousel — and the content flies in below, presented in a chronological feed.
The new Favorites Feed is both a payoff for our millions of personalized users (particularly with the new ESPN.com) and yet another reason to better personalize your ESPN experience. Furthermore, it connects all of your ESPN experiences: from web to application, from mobile to desktop.
Today we also launched ESPN for Apple News. It is a beautiful, curated collection of the best content across the sports world. Articles are image and video rich — making the content experience big, bright and bold. I encourage you to open the Apple News on iOS9 and add ESPN as a favorite channel.
And did I mention it’s football season? Some other updates across ESPN:
New Game Pages: The live experience is new and improved across all platforms (web, iOS, Android, etc): bright, dyanmic and full of real-time highlights and stats
WatchESPN: WatchESPN continues to the exclusive home for 1,000s of events — from every match at last week’s US Open to dozens of college football games each week. And with iOS9, you can now take advantage of picture in picture & multitasking. It’s really great.
WatchESPN is available on desktop, mobile apps, and OTT devices.
Real Time Highights: Whether its in the new Favorites Feed, the new game pages or via the billions of mobile alerts we deliver monthly — you can follow real-time highlights delivered from the field to your phone, desktop or OTT device in just a few seconds.
