TVG buys HRTV

Hopefully they'll take nepotism to the next level and give Jake Romans a job as handicapper.

In all seriousness...he should be hired.

Jake would have no interest.

Yeah that clarifies things Corporate Babble. Lot's of words wtithout saying anything specific that we are looking for.

Will there now be two channels branded as ‘TVG’?
The current plan is to continue to distribute both TVG and HRTV under their respective brands and to create a unified customer experience between the two networks. As our integration continues, customers will notice that the two networks will be well-coordinated and drive viewers to bring more audiences to races on each network. There’s been no determination on branding; now we’re focused on integrating operations.
How soon can we expect to see those changes?
Changes will occur gradually over the next 45 days.
Has there been a determination made on what specific content each channel would provide? (i.e., “A” and “B”-level tracks on one platform, “C” and “D”-level tracks on the other?)
We’ve been working on schedules and are confident that both channels will feature very compelling racing. There are great potential benefits for racing fans here because of the opportunities this presents for us to eliminate duplication and tape delay and to show more races live.

The production & broadcast facilities at TVG tower over HRTV . Without a substantial capital investment, the above is simply untrue. Unless of course they plan on broadcasting derby preps from what is essentially an SD cable access channel, that the majority of subscribers don't have access to, compared to TVG's distribution..

Fans can only hope that of the two formats, they choose the non-clown format for both networks.
