TVG, America's horse racing network, will be available in high-definition in homes across the country by the end of September on Charter's Spectrum service, TVG announced on Friday.
Charter Communications is a leading broadband connectivity company and cable operator serving more than 29 million customers across 41 states including Kentucky, New York, New Jersey, California, Texas, Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin.
“Upgrading our carriage to HD has been a priority for TVG and we're very excited to be launching later this summer with our partners from Spectrum,” said Kip Levin, President of FanDuel Group and CEO of TVG. “We will continue to invest in production, technology and carriage enhancements as part of our overall commitment to our track and horsemen partners and we look forward to more good news in this area in the next several weeks.”
The announcement comes as TVG begins coverage of two premier Thoroughbred race meets, Keeneland's special Summer Meet, which began on Wednesday, July 8, and Del Mar's traditional Summer Meeting beginning Friday, July 10.
During the Keeneland Summer Meet, TVG analysts Caton Bredar, Caleb Keller, Gabby Gaudet, Scott Hazelton and Todd Schrupp are on-site every day to lead the network's coverage. Race-day coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. when Gaudet and Hazelton host “Today at Keeneland,” the popular 30-minute preview show with handicapping picks and discussion of horses of interest. “Today at Keeneland” will air live on TVG2, The CW Lexington and WKYT.com and be streamed live on Keeneland.com, KeenelandSelect.com and Facebook Live.
TVG's coverage of Del Mar will be on-site every day beginning with Christina Blacker, Britney Eurton, Joaquin Jaime and Mike Joyce reporting live from the popular seaside track.
