Dorna and ITV have announced an agreement that sees WorldSBK highlights shown on ITV4 in the United Kingdom in 2016. The deal will ensure viewers across the country get to see all the best action from each Round of WorldSBK as British riders try to repeat their success of 2015, with all the best action shown on the free-to-air digital channel.
“It’s fantastic news for us that WorldSBK will be shown on ITV4,” said Manel Arroyo, MD of TV and Media Area, Dorna Sports. “ITV4 is the home of roadracing highlights in the UK. With MotoGP shown on the channel since 2015 and now WorldSBK to follow, having an experienced broadcast partner like ITV4 is another great step forward for WorldSBK, and is great news for the many fans who live in the UK.”
The new era of WorldSBK recently began in Phillip Island and British rider Jonathan Rea kicked off his campaign to become the first back-to-back Champion of the new millennium by taking a double win, highlights of which will now be available on ITV4 to start the season ahead.
