NBCSN broadcasts feature all three MRTI series
MAR 07, 2014
NBCSN will feature full coverage of the three Mazda Road to Indy series -- Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires, the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires and Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda -- schedule produced by IMS Productions.
The 14 rounds of Indy Lights will be showcased in 10 shows, which will include full coverage of single race events and highlight coverage of the 40-minute "sprint" race rounds within the standard 60-minute feature races at the four doubleheader events. Seven of the 10 shows will air either immediately before or after the IndyCar Series race broadcast, with the Freedom 100 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway airing live on May 23. International rights are held by ESPN International.
The Indy Lights broadcast team will be led by Kevin Lee and analyst Anders Krohn.
Pro Mazda and USF2000 competition will continue to be featured in four one-hour highlight shows, which will be hosted by Lee and Krohn. Each show will include one featured race per series plus additional round results. All highlight shows will also be carried by MOTORS TV in Europe.
All Indy Lights races will be carried live on the IMS Radio Network, Sirius XM, indycar.com, indycarradio.com and the INDYCAR 14 app. Mark Jaynes is the lead announcer with Pippa Mann serving as the analyst.
"Our new partnership with Replay XD as the Official Camera of the ladder series will further enhance our broadcasts with high-quality HD onboard footage," Andersen Promotions CEO Dan Andersen said. "New initiatives we will be unveiling this month include a Cooper Tires hashtag marketing campaign for competitors and fans, and our RoadToIndy.TV program will continue to ramp up our efforts on exposure for the Mazda Road to Indy."
