TNT Sports signs multi-year broadcast deal with Formula E
All 17 races of the upcoming Formula E season will be broadcast live on TNT Sports, marking the first time the series will be behind a paywall. Previous seasons had been shown on free-to-air channels such as ITV, Channel 5, and Channel 4. There is a possibility that certain races may be shown on free-to-air channels on a race-by-race basis. The coverage in the UK will be led by former professional footballer Jermaine Jenas, alongside presenters Nicki Shields and racing pundits Karun Chandhok, Dario Franchitti, and Allan McNish. The coverage will include a new hour-long build-up show before each race and an access-all-areas show the night before each race weekend. The 2022/23 season of Formula E saw a 4% increase in cumulative audience, reaching 225 million viewers.
