Disney and ESPN Media Networks Launches
Revamped Affiliate Zone Website

Business-to-Business Site Provides Greater Functionality, Easier Navigation

In an effort to help affiliates drive their business, Disney and ESPN Media Networks (DEMN) announce the launch of a new, robust website for affiliates.  “The Affiliate Zone”, a business-to-business website provides DEMN affiliates updated marketing, programming, ad sales, technical information and downloadable assets.  The revamped website offers one stop shopping for affiliates by providing access to all of the wide-ranging DEMN networks and services.

New features for the site include:  

• Tapeless delivery: Affiliates can now view and download monthly cross channel spots.  This new delivery method provides affiliates instant access to spots with the click of a mouse.

• Programming grid: This feature allows users to find programming information for all DEMN networks in one convenient location.

• Functionality: Assets are grouped and organized in a simple, easy-to-navigate system.

“When redesigning this website, we carefully considered how we could make it easier for affiliates to drive their business,” said David C. Preschlack, executive vice president, affiliate sales and marketing, Disney and ESPN Media Networks.  “This redesign offers ease of use, provides quicker access to marketing materials and aggregates all DEMN information in one central location.”

In conjunction with the website re-launch, DEMN will sponsor a “log in to win” sweepstakes.  Every day from May 19 – June 30, affiliate representatives can log onto the site to be qualified to win a Flip Ultra Series Camera.  Each day a winner will be selected from that day’s visitors.  To register, visit www.affiliate.disney.espn.com
