Up to 23 programs on ITV4 are scheduled to take place, during TT 2019, including programs based around TAS Racing’s sustained TT success, the gripping 1992 Senior TT battle between Carl Fogarty and Steve Hislop, plus a re cap on last years Senior race battle between Peter Hickman and Dean Harrison.
The TT 2019 TV team sees BSB, World Superbikes presenter Matt Roberts as last year, host the coverage. He will be working again with multi TT winners Cameron Donald and Steve Plater, plus leading International roads commentator Dave Moore.
Since 2009 the coverage of the TT Races, thanks to ITV4, North One Television and Greenlight Television, has gone in my opinion to another level.
