lbw 869 Posted August 9, 2021 Needs to be back on mainstream tv now that the BBC and ITV have many more channels. Eurosport and BT sport not doing the sport many favours because it's only a small audience, in comparison, that watches those channels no matter what sport is on. Speedway will be on Dave next!

Eurosport have exactly the same Premiership contract that BT Sports had and are televising exactly the same number of Premiership meetings. However, they haven't got any rights to Championship matches which BT Sport used to televise in the breaks in between the Premiership meetings. Therefore we are getting less speedway meetings televised, but no less Premiership meetings (plus the British Final next Monday of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
