Motorsport.tv has partnered with Tata Communications to power the international growth of the networks internet television platforms.
The channel has reportedly grown its viewership in 2017, with the voices of Formula 1 James Allen and Peter Windsor joining the team earlier this year. The television and online broadcaster is part of the Motorsport Network, which attracts, the company claims, more than 172 million page views per month across 28 global editions in 81 countries with 17 different languages.
Tata Communications will become Motorsport Networks content delivery network.
We have a strong track record of enabling sports organisations to create more powerful and immersive viewing experiences through technology, said Brian Morris, vice-president and GM of Media & Entertainment Services at Tata Communications. As the official connectivity provider for Formula 1 and the exclusive video distribution partner for MotoGP, were laying the foundations for digital transformation in motorsports and our work with Motorsport.tv and Motorsport Network is a natural extension of that.
During the past five F1 seasons, Tata Communications has tested technologies such as Ultra HD video and 360-degree live broadcasting on an OTT basis. It also distributes MotoGP and WorldSBK racing to 80+ broadcast partners reaching 200+ million households worldwide.
Our network and our television platform have achieved dramatic growth and our partnership with Tata Communications will accelerate that, Motorsport Network CEO Colin Smith said. As we continue to grow, there will be more and more emphasis on providing fans with the latest live and on-demand video content through Motorsport.tv.
