Big M now on TVG

December 08, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Television Games Network (TVG) will begin broadcasting the races from the Meadowlands on Saturday night. The sport's flagship harness track is now listed on the California-based network's schedule. Gary Seibel, most well known as a former long-time announcer at Pompano Park and current host of CBS's telecast of the Hambletonian from the Meadowlands, is one of the on-air personalities at TVG.

The Meadowlands races have been seen on Horse Racing TV (HRTV) as well as the Racetrack Television Network (RTN). There are rumors that the contract with TVG precludes the races being shown on both HRTV and RTN. Harnessracing.com has also learned XpressBet, which is a service of HRTV, has filed a complaint with the New Jersey governor's office regarding the possible future exclusion.

Officials at the Meadowlands declined to officially comment, but it is expected that all current account wagering and television distribution as provided by the Meadowlands will continue through the end of the fall meet on Dec. 30.

TVG is expected to formally announce its broadcast agreement with the Meadowlands sometime Friday.
