It is official according to Peter Ali of GRSA, a new agreement that will last for 5 years and is between Greyhound Racing South Australia and Sky Channel was signed of course by the two. It is all about providing South Australian Greyhound Racing with Sky coverage of as much as 52 Sunday twilight greyhound meetings.
It came as a surprise for many but then it is something for real. Sky Racing has renewed once again its deal to sponsor the South Australian Summer Chasing Carnival and this just includes the ever popular event, the Adelaide Cup.
Further coverage of other meetings and timeslots is being considered. But then, GRSA failed to say something about it. Perhaps, they still need more time to think about it, if it will actually be possible.
In October, Sky Racing said it has plans of splitting its present racing products in to at least three channels which include a premium thoroughbred only channel and two channels that will carry racing from all three codes however one will be significantly split between harness and greyhound racing.
The channel split will urge the harness and greyhound racing to provide more morning and daytime races. The traditional night time races are also good however less appealing.
Well for now, it is really the new agreement between GRSA and Sky Channel being finally signed that is confirmed. What is only sure is, South Australian Greyhound Racing will be provided with Sky coverage of as much as 52 Sunday twilight greyhound meetings.
The further coverage of other meetings and timeslots, along with the channel split, are not yet settled to the public. These are things that are still for them to know if will be pushed through or not. These are most likely still bound for more studies and considerations.
