TVG Network Renews Deal to Air NYRA Races

The New York Racing Association has signed a multi-year extension with TVG Network who will continue to televise and stream races from Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park and Saratoga Racecourse

Under the terms of the agreement, TVG will increase the exposure for High Definition telecasts of races from the premier New York Thoroughbred races on its network – which is distributed nationally in over 36 million households and simulcast regularly on regional sports networks throughout the US including the Fox family of regional sports networks. 

“Both The New York Racing Association and TVG have made significant investments in High Definition television capabilities over the past year and this agreement allows us both to provide the highest quality coverage to the greatest number of people possible on a daily basis,” said Kip Levin, CEO of TVG and Betfair US. 

“We view this as a starting point for the two organizations to innovate in creating new and better ways for customers to enjoy this fantastic racing product.” 

Programming enhancements will include features on TVG’s television network with The New York Racing Association’s on-track television hosts as well as significantly increased on-site productions by TVG at Belmont Park and Saratoga Racecourse. 

“Today’s announcement is yet another positive step forward for The New York Racing Association; one that will further enhance the experience for the world’s greatest fans following thoroughbred action on television, online or at one of our three historic, world-class racing facilities,” said Christopher Kay, President and CEO of The New York Racing Association. “The extension of our agreement with TVG will provide featured, long-term placement through the broadest, most technologically advanced distribution network available.  This is a win for everyone.”
