The BBC are going to be showing the 2005 TT on Grandstand Clapping

MotoGP and now the TT Thumbs Up Mr. Green Thumbs Up

Quote:
As Greenlight Television reaches its tenth anniversary, the occasion becomes a double celebration with the news that the BBC has confirmed that highlights from this year's races will be given a one-hour slot in its flagship sports programme Grandstand on BBC1, Sunday June 12th with coverage provisionally scheduled to start at 11.30 am.

Over the past ten years the TT has receieved tremendous support from BBC Northern Ireland, and nightly programmes during race week have attracted enormous audiences. These programmes will once again be a central plank of this year's television coverage, and the addition of a national slot is a recognition of the TT's unique character.

Belinda Rogerson, BBC's Series Producer, Motorsport, said 'The BBC are delighted to have the Isle of Man TT back on Grandstand. It is a unique event with long and distinguished history, and it is a welcome addition to our motorsport portfolio, alongside our coverage of MotoGP.'

The news has also been welcomed by the Isle of Man Government. Tourism Minister David Cretney said he was "absolutely delighted that the greatest road races in the world will be shown on Grandstand".

In addition to the UK, TT television coverage this year will continue to reach global audiences in Asia, Africa, the USA, the Middle East and eastern Europe.

Well no I'm not happy, we pay licence fees and they promise us stuff, like live coverage, but we get highlights, we don't get every other race.

Well,look at it another way,would you rather have a highlights package or nothing which is what we've got in the past.

Personally i'll watch it on sky. Most years they have an hour programme every night of the TT Very Happy
