The partnership between the New York Giants and Univision 41 in New York will continue to grow. In a press release, the Spanish-language network announced a series of year-round multiplatform initiatives designed to reach Latino fans in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut region.
Univision 41 New York’s new venture with the Giants results in a search for the first-ever Spanish-language “Team Correspondent” to join the “Giants en Español” broadcast team.
“Our new platform is part of our long-standing commitment to deliver unique content elements for Giants fans across all cultures and backgrounds,” Pete Guelli, the Giants Chief Commercial Officer.
“There is a growing demand for Giants content year-round, and this is an extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with Univision to engage directly with our loyal and proud Latino fanbase.”
Univision 41 New York is also airing a new television show hosted by Former Giant Victor Cruz and Univision 41 New York’s Damaris Díaz called “Sabados Con Los New York Giants” (Saturdays with the New York Giants).
Univision Radio will continue to broadcast all Giants preseason, regular season, and any postseason games in Spanish on WADO-1280 AM.
“On behalf of the entire Univision New York team, we are thrilled to strengthen our strategic partnership with the New York Giants and give a once in a lifetime opportunity to an aspiring local Latino sportscaster to cover the team’s 2021 season across our market-leading platforms,” said Roberto Yañez, President and General Manager of Univision 41 New York.
“As the unrivaled leader in local sports coverage, we’re looking forward to expanding our premier content across platforms to an even broader audience and give football fans in our community the in-language Giants content they crave.”

Joe Buck: ESPN Is Letting Us Set Tone For Monday Night Football

While Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be calling football games on Monday nights for ESPN instead of Sunday afternoons for FOX this year, fans shouldn’t expect the broadcasts to be that much different, if at all, than what they’ve been used to over the last 20 years.
Buck was recently a guest on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast and said that ESPN knows that he and Aikman have to be comfortable in order for Monday Night Football to be a success.
“I know we are in the honeymoon phase. I’m not dumb. That stuff wears off after a while. They are like ‘however you guys have always done a game, that’s the way we want you to do a game whether it’s with regard to meetings vs. conference calls or when you guys show up, how you like the booth set up. However you want it, we are going to do it your way’ and that’s to their credit. It wasn’t well, you are at ESPN, you have to figure out how we do it.”
Buck and Aikman are obviously already very familiar with each other. Buck said that it will be important not to take that for granted or second guess what they already know.
“I think the one thing Troy and I have to avoid is trying to be different than we’ve been. They hired us based on what we’ve done and who we are and how we relate to each other and the way we see a game,” said Buck.

Joe Buck Says He Won’t Miss World Series
“This is the first time since I was 18-years-old, and I’m 53, that I’m not doing a baseball game.”

Among the bigger chain reactions set off by Joe Buck leaving FOX for ESPN was the sudden vacancy in FOX’s main MLB broadcast booth.
The 2022 World Series will mark the first time since 1995 that Buck will not be on the microphone.
Speaking to Chris Long on his podcast Green Light, Buck hopes to be in a more exotic location watching World Series games this fall.
“I would like to be in Cabo San Lucas with a margarita in my hand and a half-smoked cigar watching Game 7 of the World Series,” Buck said. “Cheering on Joe Davis and John Smoltz, and Ken Rosenthal, and Tom Verducci, and Pete Macheska and Matt Gangl and right on down the line.”
Buck added he’ll take pleasure in turning the broadcast off if it’s Game 7 and there’s an insurmountable lead. But the broadcasting legend said even on a bigger scale, not calling any baseball games at all this season, let alone the World Series, is a bit surreal after covering the sport for so long.
“This is the first time since I was 18-years-old, and I’m 53, that I’m not doing a baseball game,” he said. “And that’s really weird to me, but I walk away really proud of what I and we did.”
He added that he will not miss the opportunity, because he does not feel like he will “leave any unfinished business” in FOX’s MLB booth.
Buck further praised his FOX colleagues and said it was time for a change. He knows Joe Davis will thrive in the opportunity.
