Anyone know when the domestic speedway tv contract is up or has a break clause?

Those in charge of the sport in this country have over the years squandered the TV opportunities to promote the sport and wasted the income yet given no thought to to the fact that they need to promote the sport to a wider audience and that is a bit like the track attendance, take it or leave it with no thought for the punters. Thankfully some capitulation with BSN who do a fine job and deserve the support of the speedway followers but that in itself does not get the message across to the wider audience of casual viewers who might come across the sport when flicking through the t v Chanels. It does need a main stream terrestrial broadcaster but alas those days have long gone unless someone can convince ITV4 to show at the very least, highlights. That would get it in the published t v listings etc but putting it on Quest is not good enough.

But who is now going to take on the mantle of just switching programme channels at the drop of a hat, completely screwing up your recording of it? Or joining a meeting 3 heats in because the tennis over ran? Or even not showing the speedway meeting at all live but putting it on later, (when the Kabaddi has finished)... Add to this who are now going to consistently show the wrong captions for riders, teams, tac subs, scores, rising stars etc? Big shoes to fill...

It will be interesting to see now that British league racing is moving to TNT whether production standards and budgets are done to TNT standards it would be good to have more cameras and possibly UHD coverage This move with Eurosport has been on the cards for two years and I did previously post this would be happening I would wait and see what offers come out as I understand there may be some offers for Sky Sports customers in the near future

Time for all league racing to be streamed by BSN !!
