Although the new off-road electric SUV competition, Extreme E, has great body power and prominent stars behind the wheel, it will not have spectators at the race venues, due to the organisation’s environmental commitment.
That is why one of the main tasks of the electrical competition has been to link up with different broadcast media in order to be present the event in almost the entire world through screens, thus complementing their transmissions through social networks.
One of his latest partnerships has come from the hand of the platform located in China, Channel Zero, backed by Huan.tv. Through this channel, at least 100 million customers will be able to appreciate the first season of the competition that will see action in 5 places around the world.
After its inaugural event held at the end of October in a virtual way, Extreme E has been in charge of establishing alliances with channels like ESPN and Globo TV, which represents a very good strategy considering that both networks have a high percentage of spectators in Latin America, a stage that will host two of the races of the first season (Argentina and Brazil).
The truth is that, before seeing action, the Extreme E has managed to specify more than 15 associations in many corners of the world, among which we can mention Europe, America and Asia.
