BBC Renews Motogp Rights Deal
BBC has renewed its TV rights deal to broadcast exclusive live coverage of motorcycling’s MotoGP series for a further five years.
BBC Sport and Dorna Sports, commercial and TV rights holders of the MotoGP World Championship, have signed an extension to the existing agreement for coverage of MotoGP from 2009-2013.
The deal includes the rights to show all the races – 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP, plus qualifying sessions. All MotoGP races will be shown live on BBC with the 125 and 250 races, and qualifying sessions shown live on interactive TV via the red button and online.
As well as the expanded coverage on interactive TV, the MotoGP races will also be available as a catch-up service on BBC iPlayer, available for seven days after initial broadcast.
