Duluth,
MN – X.CELERATED (XR), a high performance marketing and multimedia
firm based in Minnesota has reached an agreement with Boston,
Massachusetts based Youcastr to launch a new, live, online audio and
video service aimed at providing an opportunity for tracks, series,
and events in the racing community to be aired at a low cost on the
Internet with the ability to generate revenue.
The
service will be called RACE CAST. Set to launch on May 1, 2009, RACE
CAST will give content producers (the tracks, series, or events) the
ability to broadcast on the RACE CAST network and bring in additional
revenue to supplement event attendance. RACE CAST will offer audio
streams at $24.99 per event and HD video streaming technology at
$74.99 per event. Clients will have full control over all
advertising for the shows they produce and also have the ability to
offer the audio and video streams as Pay Per View.
“The
time is now,” proclaimed XR Vice President Dave Seay. “We have
provided live feeds on our Dirt Cast service over the last month and
the amount of interest has been amazing. Our team has researched the
market and the technology that we need to give our clients. This is
an opportunity not only for our clients to promote their events but
also to supplement the revenue that they bring in the gate. In a
tough and trying economy we are providing an option for the track and
event operators to make more revenue.”
RACE
CAST will work with tracks across the country to help them broadcast
their races online and will utilize the innovative YouCastr
broadcasting service to broadcast races live, delayed and on demand.
In addition, RACE CAST will develop custom desktop software and
equipment to make the client experience flawless. Brad Johnson,
YouCastr Co-Founder, said, "We are excited about supporting
X.CELERATED and the launch of RACE CAST. We believe X.CELERATED's
racing and marketing experience combined with our broadcasting
service makes a great solution for racing of all types, and will
provide a potential new source of revenue for track owners."
“The
technology is amazing,” added Seay. It is simple to use, and
X.CELERATED will work with tracks to help them set up and start
broadcasting. Not only that, but viewers will be able to go to
racecastlive.com, where racing from across the United States will be
showcased.”
RACE
CAST powered by Youcastr will hit the Internet on May 1, 2009, at
www.racecastlive.com.
