Attheraces closing
 

I hear over on DigitalSpy that Attheraces may be forced to cease transmissions next Monday (29th March)...

If they do close, does NTL have any plans to carry an appropriate replacement (as I'm sure there will be one)...

Is there actually a replacement?

I think there might be one... but don't know for sure yet. there is talk that The Racing Channel is relaunching on Sky, and also talk of SIS (Satellite Information Services) - the company that provides private satellite coverage of racing to betting shops setting up a channel...

But if there is a suitable replacement, NTL, please put it on the channel that Attheraces will be vacating instead of putting it right on the end of the lineup!

why am i not surprised by this move haveing a tv channel just for raceing never works out to well any how this should answer all your questions


Courses plan own TV channel

Re: Attheraces closing
 

Well that's it... Attheraces has gone. But apparently they will still be showing their American Racing coverage but with no Attheraces branding or studio discussion. Interestingly this is not listed in the EPG or Digiguide...

I don't know how long they plan to just show American Racing for before the channel is pulled from the line-up completely...

Re: Attheraces closing
 

I received an email from them the other day because I opened an online betting account with them and they are still negotiating a new deal with the racecourses.

No other operations are affected by the closure of the channel.

So it appears at the moment they could still come back.
