The single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars, Formula E has announced a multi-year broadcast agreement extension with Eclat Media Group.
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will be broadcast in select areas throughout the APAC region as part of this extension.
The collaboration commenced in early 2022 with the start of the eighth season and is set to continue with SPOTV‘s linear channels and streaming platform, SPOTV NOW, showing races live in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam.
SPOTV, founded in 2010, will continue to carry live Formula E practice sessions as well as the popular qualifying format called Duels, in which drivers race head-to-head in a knockout style to determine starting grid places.
Additionally, the South Korean pay television network will also distribute race highlight content with localised Formula E material for TV, digital, and social media in the region’s various markets.
Mitchell Hong, CEO of Eclat Media Group, said, “We are thrilled to be extending our partnership with Formula E. As SPOTV continues its growth, we aim to engage even larger audiences, offering top-tier competitive motorsports that champions sustainability.”
Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer, Formula E, said, “Eclat has been a fantastic media partner and a key contributor to our live audience record breaking last season. We have a great relationship with Mitch, CK and their teams and are delighted to renew our partnership with SPOTV.”
