Foxtel Group bets on Sky Racing with expanded broadcasting deal

Foxtel Group and Sky Racing have renewed their broadcasting deal, with the new partnership seeing live racing coverage now expanding into cafes, restaurants, and gyms.

Under the new deal, Foxtel will continue to broadcast 24/7 thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racing coverage through Sky Racing 1, Sky Racing 2 and Sky Thoroughbred Central channels.

In additional, Sky Racing 1 and 2 will broadcast in HD for the first time, and Foxtel Business customers, including gyms, shops, cafes, and restaurants, will be legally allowed to broadcast the three racing channels in their venues. This deal excludes licensed venues, which have their own deals in place with Sky.
