LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TEN: The Enthusiast Network announced today that it has officially launched its groundbreaking Motor Trend OnDemand subscription video on demand (SVOD) service, becoming the first SVOD service for automotive enthusiasts.

"The launch of Motor Trend OnDemand represents another important milestone in the evolution of TEN to a well-diversified producer of world class content delivered to enthusiasts where they want it, when they want it and how they want it," says TEN CEO Scott Dickey. "The digital video segment is experiencing explosive growth, and TEN is in an ideal position to become the Netflix for Gearheads, a community that is currently underserved and starved for premium video content."

Motor Trend OnDemand is the exclusive North American distributor of more than 60 live motorsport events each year, including racing from Pirelli World Challenge, MotoAmerica, Blancpain Series, DTM, and Lamborghini Super Trofeo, as well as popular enthusiast events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® and Goodwood Festival of Speed.

In addition, Motor Trend OnDemand will provide exclusive first-look access, bonus episodes, and behind-the-scenes footage from its popular slate of original programs including ROADKILL, DIRT EVERY DAY, HEAD 2 HEAD, IGNITION, and HOT ROD GARAGE, along with several new original series, which will be exclusive to the service. TEN will continue to leverage its Emmy-nominated production studio, MindOverEye, for high-quality original programming and build on the success of the Motor Trend Channel on YouTube, the largest automotive video channel in the world with more than 3.3 million subscribers.

"When we launched Speed back in 1995 we had to fight for distribution, but in today's over-the-top world, we have the opportunity to bring this world-class content directly to the consumer," says former Speed Vision founder and TEN Board of Director Roger Werner. "The combination of our motorsports content and the MOTOR TREND original programming puts forth a tremendous assortment of video content found nowhere else on the planet."

The subscription service is available in three pricing tiers: $6.99 each month, $79.95 for one year, and $129.95 for two years. The one-year and two-year subscriber packages include a complimentary print subscription from a selection of popular TEN brands.

Motor Trend OnDemand is currently available on desktop computers, laptops, and tablets, and will soon be available on mobile apps for Apple iOS and Android-equipped smartphones and via digital video devices, such as Apple TV, Roku, and Sony PlayStation.

Upcoming live events include:


-- August 21--Pirelli World Challenge from Miller Motorsports Park

-- August 29--DTM Championship from Moscow, Russia
