New to ESPN Digital: Over the last couple weeks, several new features and updates have rolled out across ESPN’s suite of digital products. Some of you may have already noticed (and enjoyed!) … and if not, I encourage you to play with these various updates and share feedback.
A More Personal ESPN.com and ESPN App
Across ESPN.com and the ESPN App, fans should see a lot more of their favorite teams, games, and sports. For the first time, every logged-in user has a different and customizable home screen: the day’s best and most important news is mixed with the news that most matters to you.
On ESPN.com, you’ll now find a truly personalized homepage: news about your favorite teams is automatically interspersed with top news. The homepage now features a prominent module for your teams’ scores and highlights. And you’ll never be more than a click away from your favorite clubhouses, top scores and fantasy teams.
Inside the ESPN App, you’ll find a personalized mix of video highlights, live scores, and news. From alerts to podcasts to live streams — the ESPN App is our most personal and most engaging experience. Simply download, login and set / update your favorite teams and sports.
A More Dynamic ESPN App
Available on both iOS and Android, the latest release of the ESPN App will feel more lively and personal — and you should notice the difference directly from the home screen. Exclusive and personalized video now plays as soon as the app opens— original SportsCenter video, highlights, analysis and even live streams of the biggest games start when you open the app. Click to enter the new video playback experience (which includes live cards of personalized and curated news and data). Dock the video and you can continue to browse scores, news and articles (each restyled and refreshed).
A New ESPN App on Apple TV
The updated ESPN App for Apple’s newest Apple TV is a major step forward: improved navigation, a broad mixture of live games and on-demand content, and a new, sleek presentation. Access live streams of ESPN’s various networks, stream 1,000s of live games each year, or browse new collections of curated on-demand videos (including 100s of hours of additional content from 30 for 30, E:60, Outside the Lines, SC Featured, etc). The new tvOS app for Apple TV follows the nationwide roll-out of ESPN’s App on AT&T DirecTV set-top boxes.
A New Video Experience on ESPN.com
The new ESPN.com Video experience shares much with the referenced Apple TV update: new visuals, better navigation, and a curated mixture of live streaming and on-demand content. Available now at http://www.espn.com/watch.
Introducing: The ESPN Daily
Lastly, we have two new ways to stay current in the sports world:
We have a new ESPN Daily Calendar which adds the most important and noteworthy games and events to your calendar.
And we have a new ESPN Daily Newsletter, which is a fun, easy way to catch up on yesterday’s news, analysis and highlights.
Enjoy.
And as always: we welcome feedback and ideas. ESPN.com and the ESPN App are available across platform and across all screens… and importantly, both are now available globally with 11 Editions across the world. So however and wherever you use ESPN, we want to hear!
