DISH Network, the fastest-growing pay-TV provider in the United States has announced the launch of the first channel dedicated to coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. Known as, the Univision FIFA World Cup Channel the channel is available only to the DISHLatino customers. We were disappointed to learn that DISH Network would not be carrying ESPN 3D. But, we are very excited about this all new Univision FIFA World Cup Channel!!!

The channel offers 24 hours of World Cup games and highlights from Univision, as well as an exciting new interactive feature. The best part of this channel is that it offers every program in Spanish.

The Univision FIFA World Cup Channel comes as an electrifying complement to the comprehensive World Cup programming which DISH Network has brought to you in HD exclusively from Univision, TeleFutura and Galavision(Likely to be available on June).

This new “all FIFA World Cup, all the time” channel provides viewers with Univision recaps, highlights and primetime replays of almost all the most exciting games from the previous day. Univision FIFA World Cup Channel is located on DISH Network Ch. 826.

The channel also includes an interactive feature which lets viewers vote with their remote on which team, according to them, will win the upcoming game that is airing on Univision. Once they cast the vote, the viewers will be entered into a sweepstakes where they can win an iPad each week. What’s more? There will be a grand prize of a $5,000 home entertainment system that will be awarded June 12. WOW!!!
