Racing TV
Racing TV (formerly Racing UK) is a British television channel with 34 racecourses as shareholders and fixtures from 61 racecourses broadcast live on its output. As Racing UK grew several other business units and joint ventures were developed under the ownership of the parent company Racecourse Media Group Ltd. Racing TV is one of the two major UK horse racing television channels, the other being Sky Sports Racing. The station is dedicated to horse racing broadcasting over 70% of all live racing from Britain and Ireland, including nearly 90% of all Group and Graded races. On 17 December 2018, Racing UK was rebranded as Racing TV on air in anticipation of the first live broadcast of racing from Ireland on 1 January 2019. At the same time, Racing TV began promoting its new Racing TV Extra service which provides viewers with dedicated feeds from each racecourse fixture via Streaming and OTT TV platforms(SD only for Virgin Media Ireland customers).

Name
Attheraces [1] was launched on 1 May 2002 but had run into financial difficulties by the spring of 2004. After its demise two new channels were created at very short notice to continue broadcasting the sport of horse racing in the UK. AtTheRaces [2] re-launched on 11 June 2004, which later became Sky Sports Racing. The other channel's name was originally the "Horse Racing Channel" but this became "Racing UK" upon its launch on 29 May 2004 - when Rishi Persad presented its first live programme from Kempton - featuring racing from Kempton, Doncaster, Musselburgh and Cartmel. It remained Racing UK until its rebrand to Racing TV ahead of the launch of live racing from Ireland on 1 January 2019. Programming 
The channel starts broadcasting before live racing every day. In the mornings Racing Replay and/or Irish Racing Replay is shown until one of Mark Your Card, Full SP or Luck on Sunday are broadcast, live racing from the UK and Ireland typically follows in the afternoon and evening. The programmes have been produced in High-definition at Ealing Studios since 2012 and on location from the 61 racecourses. Racing UK was the first dedicated horse racing channel to broadcast racing in HD when it launched its new service on 14 March 2016. Live Racing
