ESPN & ABC Enter Partnership with ALMS

BRASELTON: The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) motorsport competitions are set to air across several ESPN platforms, including ABC, ESPN2 and ESPN3.com.

ABC will feature race telecast coverage on March 20 after the 59th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida, with remaining ABC broadcasts featuring Road America (August), Baltimore (September) and the season-ending Petit Le Mans (October). ESPN2 will feature ALMS in two-hour telecasts from Long Beach (April), Lime Rock and Mosport (July), Mid-Ohio (August) and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (September). All four ABC race broadcasts will have an encore airing on ESPN2 as part of the new agreement.

All ALMS races will be carried ‘live’ in their entirety and fully produced on ESPN3.com, with ESPN2 and ABC providing televised coverage on a delayed basis. ESPN3.com will deliver nearly 60 hours of live coverage, including hour-long qualifying shows from each event along with pre- and post-race content. The ESPN3.com coverage can also be seen worldwide on several of ESPN’s global web-based platforms.

The sports car series, presented by Tequila Patron, is represented by media and marketing agency Intersport in the new multi-broadcast and digital agreement with ESPN.
