As part of the three-year partnership, TVA Sports will broadcast all Formula E qualifying sessions and races live across Canada.
Fans in Canada will be able to follow each E-Prix live wherever they are, with all the action broadcast to TVA Sports’ subscribers on television and available for streaming via smartphone, tablet or computer through tvasportsdirect.ca.
TVA Sports' presenting team will be led by Charles-Antoine Sinotte, accompanied by national motorsport icon Bertrand Godin and they'll be on the ground at select races to offer fans behind-the-scenes access including exclusive interviews with teams and drivers.
Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer at Formula E, said: “As we begin our first season as an FIA World Championship, we are looking to bring Formula E to as broad an audience as possible and are delighted to welcome TVA Sports to the line-up of broadcasters growing that audience in North America. Formula E and TVA Sports share a desire to promote the importance of electromobility and sustainability.
"There is no better platform in French-speaking Canada than TVA Sports on which to showcase our world class electric racing series, or to engage audiences excited by our sport and united by our purpose.”
Louis-Philippe Neveu, TVA Sports General Manager, said: “TVA Sports is pleased to add Formula E to its stable of prestigious properties. Adding live events is a priority for our sports channel and we are very happy to have motor racing on our schedule. Formula E is a racing series that deserves to be better known. It will appeal to car racing fans, people who love action and people who care about the environment.”
