JAY, Okla. — American Outdoor Events, which owns and operates MidAmerica Outdoors, Ultra4 USA and MAO Racing series, MidAmerica Powersports and partners with numerous other series, including the National Rock Racing Association, will launch AmericanOutdoorEvents.TV in conjunction with the season-ending Legends of the Fall event Oct. 26-30.
The new streaming destination will be powered by SPEED SPORT Network, a division of SPEED SPORT, as part of a multi-year agreement.
Ultra4 USA will maintain the current Vimeo platform for existing subscribers, but will transition to the SPEED SPORT Network as part of an aggressive content production and broadcast strategy. Subscription options, free streaming and special offers will be announced at Legends.
American Outdoor Events TV will be available on most major streaming apps including Amazon Fire, Apple TV, iOS, Android and web.
For Legends of the Fall, live broadcasts will also be available free on AmericanOutdoorEvents.TV and SPEEDSPORT.tv.
Bonus content, highlights, preliminary rounds and LIVE From Legends of the Fall pre- and post-race shows hosted by SPEED SPORT’s Ralph Sheheen, Dave Arnold and Arica Alread will be simulcast on Facebook, YouTube, MidAmericaOutdoors.com, NationalRockRacing.com and more.
Fans can visit MidAmericaOutdoors.com for detailed event and broadcast information.
Jason Robinett, CEO of American Outdoor Events, says his aggressive broadcast plans are all part of a larger strategy.
“Our goal is to pull all of off-roading/racing together as a whole to bring awareness and growth to not just racing but anything and everything off-roading/outdoor adventure,” Robinett stated. “Broadcasting is an important part of that — and with SPEED SPORT’s guidance and massive platform, we’ll not only be better able to create entertaining content, but will deliver it in a way that fans can engage with it when, where and how they want.”
In addition to live streaming, SPEED SPORT will also be producing and broadcasting American Outdoor Events programming via its award-winning, prime-time “SPEED SPORT Presents” show on MAVTV, and via other distribution partnerships that will be announced at PRI Show Dec. 8-10 in Indianapolis.
“We are excited by the opportunity to help American Outdoor Events share its amazing stories with a broader audience,” said Joe Tripp, SPEED SPORT’s managing partner and CEO. “Jason understands that in order to grow the sport and to maximize the audience, we’ve got to create great content and make it easy for fans to access it. Our production approach, broadcast platform and distribution strategies align perfectly with Jason’s vision for American Outdoor Events.”
