Next year's Isle of Man TT will benefit from increased TV coverage in a
deal that sees ITV extend its contract to show the week-long festival
into the year 2013.
Fourteen hours of daily highlights of the legendary motorbike racing
series will be shown on ITV4 throughout the road race festival,
including preview, behind the scenes and qualifying programmes. There
will also be a number of special programmes, including an exclusive look
at the making of next year’s feature film TT3D.
Next year is the centenary of the mountain course, and a raft of special
guests, events and celebrations are planned. Clips of all the action,
all the excitement from the festival and the full highlights programmes
will also be available on ITV.com.
Television coverage of the TT is an important part of what we are trying
to achieve for the Isle of Man’s economy, both in terms of promoting
the many facets that the Isle of Man has to offer and also with regard
to our commercial strategy for the races. I am delighted that we have
been able to secure significant support from one of the UK’s leading
broadcasters which is a positive reflection on the event’s strength and
success," said Allan Bell, MHK, Minister, Economic Development, IOM
government.
