Spain’s RTVE to continue televising Extreme E for Season 2

Extreme E has confirmed today that Spanish broadcaster RTVE (Radiotelevisión Española) will televise all five of this season’s X Prix on its free to air linear channel.

The Championship’s race highlights, review and magazine shows - which will all broadcast in Spanish - will join the line-up of coverage on RTVE’s primary sport channel, Teledeporte. In addition, Extreme E’s thrilling race action will be live streamed on the station’s digital platform, www.rtve.es. 

Based in Madrid, RTVE is Spain’s largest public media organisation. The company, well-known for its commitment to new technologies and sustainable development, is a perfect broadcast partner for Extreme E, which aims to promote the uptake of electric vehicles in society through its innovative ‘sport for purpose’ series. 

Ali Russell, Chief Marketing Officer at Extreme E, said: “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with RTVE. The station is not only one of Spain’s premier broadcasters, it also shares many of Extreme E’s core standpoints and has an environmental focus.

“There is a strong Spanish contingent across Extreme E and I am sure that these will continue to be the focal point for our passionate and patriotic Spanish audience in Season 2.”
