  BBC HORSERACING VISION

PLAN OF ACTION TEAM

LEE MOTTERSHEAD Journalist Of The Year

"BBC BROADCASTING STARTED at 12.45pm on March 26th 1960, and will end at 5.10pm on Saturday, after the 2012 running of the British Grand National. The BBC and the BBC alone, has brought terrestrial coverage of the Grand National into living rooms. On Saturday, following the decision to sell all racing's TV rights to Channel 4 from 2013 to 2016, BBC Television's partnership with the Grand National will come to an end."

TERRESTRIAL TV IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BBC PIONEERING BROADCAST TEAM WHO STARTED OUT IN MARCH 1960 TO BRING THE BRITISH GRAND NATIONAL TO LIFE AND TO THE PUBLIC, ONGOING OVER THE LAST 52 YEARS UPSIDES ALL THOSE HORSERACING GREATS WHO WORK AT THE DANGEROUS SHARP END OF BRITISH HORSERACING TO INCLUDE THE HORSES AND THEIR OWNERS. 

BIG WINNERS AND BRAVE LOSERS.
