The New York Giants announced July 24 an extended partnership agreement with NBC 4 New York/WNBC and Telemundo 47/WNJU that includes the first Spanish-language preseason broadcast of the annual “MetLife Bowl” between the Giants and Jets on Aug. 16 at MetLife Stadium.
The broadcast will air live on Telemundo 47’s over-the-air and digital platforms and will be announced by Miguel Gurwitz and Rolando Cantú, the hosts of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video and NBC Sunday Night Football on Telemundo Deportes / UNIVERSO.
“This is a milestone moment. We are thrilled to bring the Giants-Jets preseason game to Telemundo 47 viewers for the first time,” said Cristina Schwarz, president and general manager of Telemundo 47/WNJU. “Our audience have long awaited the opportunity to cheer on the Giants en Español – and on Aug. 16, that moment finally arrives.” Telemundo serves the Spanish-speaking communities of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
NBC 4 New York/WNBC will air two preseason games: Saturday, Aug. 9 at 1 p.m.: New York Giants at Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium (Buffalo) (WNBC only) and Saturday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m.: New York Giants vs. New York Jets at MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford) (WNBC and WNJU).
WNBC’s two preseason broadcasts will feature the voice of the Giants, Bob Papa, along with broadcast analysts Carl Banks, Phil Simms and Howard Cross. NBC 4 New York lead sports anchor Bruce Beck will also appear as a sideline reporter.
During the Aug. 16 Spanish-language broadcast, Gurwitz and Cantú will be joined from the sidelines by Telemundo 47 sports anchor Veronica Contreras, who has covered NFL regular season and postseason games for Telemundo Deportes/ UNIVERSO.
The partnership extension will also continue their exclusive program, “All-Access: Giants Training Camp” presented by Hospital for Special Surgery. New episodes will air Saturdays on WNBC and on digital and streaming platforms. “All-Access: Giants Training Camp” will include highlights, features and mic’d up segments.
Hosted by Bob Papa, with insight from Shaun O’Hara and Phil Simms alongside insiders Madelyn Burke, Brandon London and Paul Dottino, the show takes fans behind-the-scenes with the players, coaches, and the organization. Fans will get interviews with Head Coach Brian Daboll and Giants players as they gear up for the season. On-Demand episodes can also be found across all Giants digital platforms.
