"The National" lost to Channel 4.
Mar 19th, 2012, 9:03am  
BBC TV has lost the rights to cover "The Grand National".

More information from the BBC News site, here.


Radio rights for racing remain the subject of continuing negotiations.


This is from "The Telegraph":-

"Channel 4 seals stunning turnaround with £15m TV deal to cover racing next year
Racing is expecting Channel 4 to deliver an audience to match the BBC when the commercial television company takes over a contract for exclusive terrestrial coverage of the sport in Britain next year."
