US broadcaster Univision Deportes has acquired exclusive Spanish-language broadcast and digital rights in the country for the Formula One motor-racing championship.
The ‘multi-year’ deal between Univision Deportes and Formula One Management, which operates the championship, was struck ahead of the season-opening Australian grand prix at the weekend.
Univision Deportes will show live coverage of all 19 races during the 2013 season on its UniMás television channel. Selected races will also be streamed on the broadcaster’s official website and on the UVideos.com website.
