Network Ten and Fox Sports recommit

Dorna Sports has confirmed agreements with Network Ten and Fox Sports Australia for television broadcasts of the Road Racing World Championship in 2015 and 2016.

The agreements will see Network Ten broadcast all MotoGP class races live on its free-to-air channel ONE, as well as simulcast on the TENplay online platform.

Fox Sports Australia will broadcast practice, qualifying and races across all categories live as well as on demand.

Both Ten and Fox will also produce additional feature coverage from the Australian Grand Prix each season.

Network Ten Head of Sport David Barham commented: “We are delighted to extend our broadcast deal with Dorna Sports to ensure that Australian motorsport fans can watch all MotoGP races live, free and in high definition. This deal further demonstrates Network Ten’s commitment to premium motorsport.”

Fox Sports CEO Patrick Delany said: “Fans have already had a taste of our MotoGP coverage with the first two rounds complete for the 2014 season, but this is just the beginning of what will be a transformational three-year period for the sport on Fox Sports.

“Not only will fans see every race from every Grands Prix including all championship races, support categories, practice, and qualifying events LIVE with no interruptions during the action, we will fire up the red button and second-screen features to deliver an experience like no other.”
