Home Game

After a decade of producing Super Bowl touchdowns and fumbles, David Bolton, Executive Director and CEO of the California Mission Foundation will be watching the big game in New Orleans between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in the comfort of his Santa Barbara home.

David tells me Fox Latin America Mexico, sold off by Aussie tycoon Rupert Murdoch a few years ago, is now experiencing financial difficulties and is trying to convince him to buy the network back.

However, no deal has been reached.

“With this uncertainty and with my company having to put out all of the funds for the production in advance and then wait for payment, it’s just too risky at the moment,” says David, 2023 El Presidente of Old Spanish Days.

“Further, the legal systems in both countries are not conducive to the two parties being entities in different nations. Just another level to add to the uncertainty.

“It was a great run, starting ten years ago in Phoenix in 2015, Super Bowl XLIX, and I’m so appreciative of being able to produce eight telecasts for the biggest week in world sport. It was super fun and I have super memories.”
