Telemundo Deportes announced the addition of new audio offerings for Amazon Alexa and Google to enhance the final stages of the month-long tournament.
Alexa and Google can help fans stay up-to-date with the latest Telemundo Deportes news and podcasts.
Fans will be able to access World Cup content with Alexa, by adding the Telemundo Deportes to their Flash Briefing in the Alexa app.
Fans can tune in to Telemundo Deportes’ Día de Gallos podcast daily throughout the tournament. Ask Alexa, play the Día de Gallos podcast to hear from former Mexican soccer star Carlos Hermosillo and acclaimed sports presenter Miguel Gurwitz discuss all-things World Cup directly from Russia.
In addition, fans can access the official theme music for Telemundo Deportes, Sueño de Campeones on the Web Player or via Amazon Music app for iOS and Android, where available.
Recorded in Studio One at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London with an 80-piece orchestra consisting of strings, brass and percussion, Sueño de Campeones layers the orchestra to get a bigger sound with a 60-person choir, a guitar and a piano, providing enough range and versatility to be used across Telemundo Deportes’ live broadcasts, pre- and post-games and additional World Cup programming.
Google recently announced that the Google Home now speaks and understands Spanish. As part of the partnership with Telemundo Deportes, Google has made Telemundo Deportes’ sports briefings available in Spanish.
