Motors TV UK set to join Freeview platform

Television’s greatest array of motor sport and motorcycle coverage, including the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series, will be available to more UK homes than ever before from tomorrow, February 27, when Motors TV joins Freeview (channel 240).

From around midday this Thursday anyone with a compatible internet-enabled Freeview HD or Freeview+HD product (box or TV) can watch the High Speed Television Channel. 

That means more motor sport fans than ever before will have access to the coverage of the FIA WEC and ELMS as well as the FIA World Rally Championship, V8 Supercars, FIM MX World Championship and FIM Endurance World Championship coverage, in addition to those existing viewers watching via Sky and Virgin Media.

Frederic Viger, Head of Programming and Acquisitions at Motors TV, said: “We’re delighted to be joining the Freeview family through Arqiva’s Connect TV. Scores of motor sport fans will now have access to the widest and most diverse range of live, delayed and highlights programming that features both international and domestic championships. It was something that prospective viewers had been calling for and I’d like to think that we’ve responded to their wishes. The proliferation of internet-connected television made this a very attractive platform.”
