Ali Russell, Director of Marketing at Extreme E, said, “We are delighted to announce our broadcast expansion with Setanta in these vital territories. As a purpose-driven sports championship committed to amplifying the benefits of electrification, it is important to build exposure for Extreme E in a market where electric vehicle sales continue to rise. There is an even bigger goal for our championship than the radical racing presented, with the need to reduce carbon emissions and tackle the climate crisis, which these territories have clearly recognised. As we expand our coverage by expanding our partnership with Setanta, I’m confident there will be continued interest in the action-packed wheel-to-wheel racing delivered by Extreme E, as well as the broader storytelling around the electrification, environment and gender equality platform of the series.
