The long-term agreement keeps ESPN and ESPN2 on expanded basic and ESPNEWS, ESPN Classic and ESPN HD on a digital tier, and the launch of ESPN Deportes, ESPN's 24-hour Spanish language network, in markets where Cox offers a Spanish-language tier. ESPN Deportes currently is not available for local Cox Communications subscribers, but it might be added.
