providing the contribution connectivity to TRP’s racecourses and distribution to their

broadcast partners in the UK and overseas. All services will be monitored and controlled

from a dedicated Master Control Room at Raynes Park, I am confident that this

partnership will offer great value to TRP and provide significant opportunities to develop

and deliver remote production solutions to a wider customer base and multitude of

sports.”

David Meynell, CEO of BMC TV, echoed this excitement: “This is a fantastic contract win

for BMC TV, and we cannot wait to get started. The partnership with RaceTech is

significant and one that allows us to offer maximum value to our customers, with

complete focus on the benefits that we can bring to the racing industry. We believe that

racing, and we are confident that we will secure further contracts, continue to grow BMC

TV, and become the go-to provider for remote services to the racing industry and other

sporting events.”
