lionheart announces landmark partnership with 24 hour esports network estv
The Lionheart Racing Series announced today a landmark multi-year partnership with ESTV, the world’s first true 24/7 live linear eSports network.
Launched in May 2019, ESTV provides around-the-clock coverage of eSports athletes and gaming franchises from an insiders perspective. ESTV is available on the Roku Channel, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV Plus, Dish, Sling TV, VIZIO, Select TV, TikiLIVE, Simul-TV nationwide and over the air network for local media market as well as Twitch, YouTube and Facebook platforms and streams live linear feed and AVOD service. ESTV partners with the world’s top gaming networks and production partners for the most robust eSports content lineup on linear, online and mobile.
The partnership was formed after successful airings on ESTV of Lionheart events from the 2020 Season. The biggest of which was the airing of the 2020 HyperX Indianapolis 500. Producing nearly 40,000 views for this single event, the Lionheart Series is projecting to receive over 1,750,000 views across its three series in 2021.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Lionheart Racing Series to feature IndyCar racing events on ESTV worldwide esports channel,” said Eric Yoon, founder and CEO of ESTV. “Sim Racing enthusiasts alike can now find round-the-clock esports and esports-related programming for free on ESTV channel.”
Lionheart Racing Series founder Jorge Anzaldo understood the opportunity to partner with ESTV and extend the reach of the series further than it has ever before.
“We made some significant changes for 2021 to position ourselves for this partnership,” Anzaldo said. “The biggest was partnering with RaceSpot TV which has given Lionheart full content ownership and thus the keys to its own destiny. The future is so bright for Lionheart and this is the most excited I have been about an upcoming season in a long time.”
“Part of Lionheart’s plan for long term growth is to continue promoting sim racing and the iRacing platform,” Anzaldo said. “I truly feel that sim racing’s popularity will continue to grow over the next few years. This growth will eventually bring Lionheart into the eSports stadium and ESTV is what will get us there.”
ESTV will air each event from the Lionheart Indycar, Speedway and Retro Series from the 2021 Season. The network will also show replays of each event for a total of 116 airings. This will not only provide additional exposure for the series but also showcase the series to the global eSports community.
