Thanks to the investments done in our OTT digital channel, the platform improved and increased its figures month after month. Nowadays, also promoters decided to broadcast world championships through this FIM platform, because of the service and its easy-to-access features. Recently we also launched the FIM-Moto.TV app to provide an even better service and to improve the events’ promotion through direct contacts and activations with our fan base. This FIM TV channel allows also our affiliated National Federations to showcase and broadcast their events and we are really excited of the collaboration we recently started with ACU.
