Owners will be able to view Victorian racing daily on Foxtel’s Channel 522 commencing tomorrow with the feature Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes meeting at Flemington.
The announcement means that the new Racing.com television channel can now be viewed on free-to-air TV, subscription TV and digital devices, in every State and Territory of Australia.
Foxtel viewers across the country now have the flexibility to choose whether they watch the Racing.com showcase coverage of Victorian racing on Channel 522 or on Sky Racing’s wall-to-wall coverage on Channels 519 and 520.
The agreement with Foxtel complements the Racing.com broadcast on free-to-air Channels 68 and 78, which is available to 95% of the Australian population and the online broadcast which is available free of charge to all on desktop, tablets and mobiles.
