Tabcorp advise the interim broadcasting arrangements with the Victorian thoroughbred racing industry expired at midnight last night.

Tabcorp has been negotiating on new long-term broadcasting arrangements since the previous agreement with TVN expired on 31 December 2012.

Tabcorp submitted a Formal Offer to the Victorian thoroughbred racing industry on 1 June 2015, which presents a package that leverages Tabcorp’s integrated business model across domestic and international markets.

This package includes significant monetary benefits, and the opportunity and flexibility to have up to 44 meetings each year broadcast on Channel Seven and other free-to-air television.

A new agreement between Tabcorp and the Victorian thoroughbred racing industry has not been reached. As a result, while wagering on Victorian thoroughbred racing will continue to be available, it will not be supported by vision on the Sky Racing channels, outside of the 92 Victorian TAB agencies.

Sky Racing is putting in place measures to minimise the impact on our customers.
