New television deal for ASBK

Highlights packages from all five rounds of the 2015 Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) will screen on Fox Sports 5, Motorcycling Australia has announced.

The opening show, which will feature the ASBK action from the opening round of the Superbike World Championship at Phillip Island, will air at the following times:

•    March 21 at 6:00pm on Fox Sports 5
•    March 23 at 1:00am on Fox Sports 5
•    March 25 at 6:00am on Fox Sports 5

All subsequent rounds will have highlights packages shown approximately 14 days after each event, and specific scheduling information will be released closer to the event dates.

MA CEO Dale Gilson said the announcement was another huge step forward as the new-look series continues to gather momentum.

“It's no secret that 2015 is the beginning of a new era for road racing in Australia, as we look to re-develop one of our oldest and proudest championship series,” he said. “Being able to announce a national television package to showcase all of the riders taking part in ASBK in 2015 is an integral part of this.

“This championship has continued to gather momentum and this is just another sign that things are on the up. “And anyone who is unsure of what to expect from the ASBK this year and in the future can get in front of their television sets, or hit the record button to catch all of the action – starting on March 21."
