Sky Racing2 To Go Live March 30

[Phantom]

The first of Sky Racing's new channels, Sky Racing2, will go live on Tuesday 30 March as the first stage in Sky's racing vision revolution.

Sky Racing2 will feature more than 80 thoroughbred, harness and greyhound meetings each week.
Of these, 35 will be new race meetings and more than half of those will be Australian.
Sky Racing is creating a new world of racing vision in 2010 with the introduction of two new channels, to complement the existing Sky Racing channel. The three channels are:
#Sky Racing1 (Channel 519, FOXTEL and AUSTAR): Existing Sky Racing channel, which will continue to give viewers comprehensive Australian thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing coverage.
#Sky Racing2 (Channel 520, FOXTEL and AUSTAR): Will offer viewers expanded coverage and choice of national and international thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing.
Along with Sky Racing1, it will provide vision of all TAB races.
#Sky Racing World (Channel 521, FOXTEL and AUSTAR): A superior thoroughbred racing channel, capturing the best racing action from Australia and around the world.
The launch of Sky Racing World will take place in early May, as part of the second stage in the rollout of the new Sky Racing channels.
FOXTEL and AUSTAR will announce pricing for Sky Racing2 and Sky Racing World this month.
Sky Racing1 will remain on the base package.

LOL @ Optus TV

I hope SKY knows that Optus is moving to an IPTV system from July 1 2010.
