Drone Racing League Coverage Lands on OSN

DUBAI: OSN has teamed up with Drone Racing League (DRL) to exclusively premiere all of the action from the high-speed international sport in the MENA region.

DRL matches looks on as world-class pilots race customized drones through three-dimensional course designs. Matches are held in such locations as stadiums, subway tunnels, abandoned factories and historical landmarks. The first season of DRL is now available to OSN subscribers on OSN Sports Action 1HD, with the second installment slated to be announced later this year. The global racing series will culminate in a World Championship event.

Andy Warkman, the senior VP of sport and sports production at OSN, said: “We are bringing the hugely exciting Drone Racing League to the region, at a time when interest in future sports is rapidly gaining traction and personal drone ownership is becoming more common. As we continue to broaden the breadth of diverse and in-demand offerings to customers, we’re staying abreast of new and emerging trends so that we can continue to bring the best in sport to the region.”

“DRL is incredibly excited to partner with OSN to bring the sport of the future to the region,” added Nicholas Horbaczewski, DRL’s CEO and founder. “OSN is an innovative partner [that] helps DRL reach new audiences as we bring the world’s greatest drone races to new regions and one-of-a-kind venues around the world.”
