Racing UK, the dedicated horseracing channel, has added Broadband to its portfolio of broadcast platforms.
The new service which is available to an estimated 3.2 million Broadband users in the UK and Ireland, will deliver coverage of the channel's quality schedule of domestic and South African action, including its popular daily Racing Replay programme, direct to laptops and PCs.

Racing UK Executive Chairman Simon Bazalgette said, "The growth of Broadband is staggering, and its applications as an entertainment medium are becoming increasingly widespread. By making Racing UK available to Broadband users we are bringing top quality racing into environments where computers are more likely to be accessible than televisions.”

A stand alone subscription to the Broadband service mirrors the digital satellite rate of £20 per month, but is available to existing satellite subscribers with a 50% discount. "We are also offering access to our existing satellite subscribers at the discounted rate of just £10 per month, which we hope to be able to extend to cable customers in time," added Bazalgette.
