Sunset+Vine
to produce 麻豆官网首页入口 horse racing coverage
麻豆官网首页入口
Sport has announced that it has awarded the contract to produce
over 60 hours of the 麻豆官网首页入口's horse racing coverage to Sunset+Vine.
The
two year contract will see Sunset+Vine producing coverage from Aintree,
Ascot, Chepstow, Epsom, Goodwood, Haydock and Uttoxeter for 麻豆官网首页入口
ONE and 麻豆官网首页入口 TWO.
The
production of the Grand National, The Derby and Royal Ascot will
stay with 麻豆官网首页入口 Sport production.
Sunset+Vine,
which is owned by The Television Corporation Plc, has a strong track
record in live innovative sport production.
The
company produces Channel 4 Cricket, which has won 17 industry awards,
and all of Five's sports coverage.
Sunset+Vine
also owns Hawk-Eye, the award winning ball-tracking technology now
used worldwide for tennis and cricket coverage.
Barbara
Slater, 麻豆官网首页入口 Head of General Sport, said: "In the face of fierce
competition, Sunset+Vine produced a thoroughly impressive bid.
"Their
commitment to collaborative working, innovation and creativity is
second to none and we believe that they are the right partners to
work with in continuing the 麻豆官网首页入口's high standards of racing coverage."
Jeff
Foulser, Chief Executive of The Television Corporation, said: "We're
absolutely thrilled to be working with the 麻豆官网首页入口. I'm sure we can
benefit the viewers and the sport by helping to broaden its appeal
through our coverage, just as we did with our award winning cricket
programming for Channel 4."
The
麻豆官网首页入口 has been reviewing its independent quota as it ensures it meets
the statutory obligation to commission at least 25% of its television
programmes from independent producers.
Putting
horse racing out to an independent production company will see 麻豆官网首页入口
Sport substantially increase its contribution to this target.
The
move will have no impact on the number of hours of horse racing
broadcast.
All
the 麻豆官网首页入口's digital services are now available on ,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable. Freeview
offers the 麻豆官网首页入口's eight television channels, interactive services
from 麻豆官网首页入口i, as well as 11 national 麻豆官网首页入口 radio networks.
