ALL INCLUSIVE NEW SKY SPORTS BSB BROADCAST DEAL

Sky Sports will show all 6 races from each round of the 2006 and 2007 British Superbike seasons.

In an exciting new deal, Sky Sports will show delayed coverage from the Superbike, Supersport, 125cc and Superstock Championships and the Virgin Mobile Yamaha R6 Cup at each of the 13 scheduled events, starting at Brands Hatch on Sunday 26 March.

Sky Sports who have followed the British Superbike Championship for the last three years will schedule their coverage on the evening of each Round. Alongside this deal, ITV will show live terrestrial coverage of British Superbikes as announced last week.

Announcing the new arrangement, Tony Partis, Managing Director, Dorna UK Ltd: "Everybody connected with the Bennetts British Superbike Championship is very pleased to continue an association with Sky Sports. They have been good to work with, built a loyal following for the sport, and will now show a greater depth of coverage than before. Their professionalism and enthusiasm will not only benefit the Bennetts British Superbike Championship but also the compelling support races.

He continued; "The new television arrangements are a testament to the hard work put in by the teams and riders to provide such enthralling entertainment for the viewers."

Stuart Higgs, Series Director, MCRCB-Events Ltd: "I'm delighted that Sky Sports will continue to follow the Championship, taking them into a fourth consecutive year. Their depth of coverage, in particular of the supporting categories, is very important and of course very popular with our fan base and teams alike."

Sue Ashworth, Manager Production and Commercial Development, British Sky Broadcasting Ltd: "We have built a loyal following for Superbikes and will now show all the races from each event giving greater depth of coverage for our British Superbike fans.
