ESPN Latin America is cutting production costs.

Note the following:

Euro 2008 matches on ESPN Latin America and ESPN Deportes have English-language graphics. The announcers are NOT identified by the graphics at all.

They have always done that. They also do top of the hour resets where they put talent. They do it for Champions League and their International matches. They are in English whether they are produced in Bristol or in Buenos Aires.

If the matches are produced in Mexico, then they are with Spanish graphics.
