Just read in the paper this morning that all the BSB rounds this year are going to be screened LIVE on ITV.
They will be taking over from Sky Sports.

Superb I've been waiting for more racing action on terrestrial TV. Apart from MotoGP, the only races they show are highlights from the R6 cup at midnight on channel 5. ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/

ITV1 TO BROADCAST BENNETTS BRITISH SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP
The Promoter and Organisers of Britain's premier motorsport series, the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, today announced a major development for the Series with the news that Britain's largest commercial broadcaster, ITV, will broadcast the championship, with planned live coverage of all of this season's 13 events on their prime network terrestrial channel, ITV1.
Currently subject to contract, the new TV package, which covers initially the 2006 and 2007 seasons, with an option to extend further into the future, is an important step forward for BSB, as well as marking the return of top level motorcycle racing to the channel for the first time since the 1980's when the ITV World of Sport Superbike Challenge thrilled TV viewers with epic battles between the likes of the late-Barry Sheene, Ron Haslam (father of current BSB star Leon), Wayne Gardner and Randy Mamola.
Dorna UK Managing Director, Tony Partis was delighted with the deal, commenting: "This is an incredibly positive development for the Bennetts British Superbike Championship and we are thrilled that ITV is to cover the series with live coverage. We are continually looking at ways to improve the appeal of BSB and this is fantastic news for everyone associated with the championship - manufacturers, teams, sponsors and, most importantly, our fans."
MCRCB-Events BSB Series Director, Stuart Higgs added: "All BSB programmes will be scheduled on Sunday afternoons as well as three Bank Holiday Monday events, and we will work closely with ITV to refine the final format of each programme. This represents a tremendous opportunity to showcase the spectacle of the Series to its biggest ever potential audience."
Mark Sharman, ITV Controller of Sport, commented: "The British Superbike Championship provides genuine sports entertainment – high quality racing with plenty of thrills. We also have some exciting young riders coming through, so I’m delighted to bring this series to a wider audience. ITV’s motorsport portfolio includes Formula 1, the World Rally Championship and the British Touring Car Championship."

ITV still have the F1 contract. Tbh, given their previous record I would expect BSB to be delayed or moved to one of ITV's other channels for the regular clashes.
Still great news though. ____________________ Photos and that |

Probably old news to you all now, but I thought I would put this information into one post.
ITV is going to cover Superbikes live:

There is speculation that race one will be a slightly delayed broadcast so they can put an advert in the middle without missing any action.
Sky Sports is going to show delayed coverage including the support races on the evening of race day:
britishsuperbike.com wrote: | Sky Sports will show all 6 races from each round of the 2006 and 2007 British Superbike seasons.
In an exciting new deal, Sky Sports will show delayed coverage from the Superbike, Supersport, 125cc, Superstock and Virgin Mobile Yamaha R6 Cup at each of the 13 scheduled events, starting at Brands Hatch on Sunday 26 March.
Sky Sports who have followed the British Superbike Championship for the last three years will schedule their coverage on the evening of each Round. Alongside this deal, ITV will show live terrestrial coverage of British Superbikes as announced last week.
Announcing the new arrangement, Tony Partis, Managing Director, Dorna UK Ltd: "Everybody connected with the Bennetts British Superbike Championship is very pleased to continue an association with Sky Sports. They have been good to work with, built a loyal following for the sport, and will now show a greater depth of coverage than before. Their professionalism and enthusiasm will not only benefit the Bennetts British Superbike Championship but also the compelling support races.
He continued; "The new television arrangements are a testament to the hard work put in by the teams and riders to provide such enthralling entertainment for the viewers."
Stuart Higgs, Events Director MCRCB Events Ltd: "I'm delighted that Sky Sports will continue to follow the Championship, taking them into a fourth consecutive year. Their depth of coverage, in particular of the supporting categories, is very important and of course very popular with our fan base and teams alike."
Sue Ashworth, Manager Production and Commercial Development, British Sky Broadcasting Ltd: "We have built a loyal following for Superbikes and will now show all the races from each event giving greater depth of coverage for our British Superbike fans. |
