MotoGP secures CBS and NBC broadcasts over summer

Dorna Sports agreed deals with US broadcasters CBS Sports and NBC to broadcast coverage of MotoGP across the United States this summer.

The deal will see three races broadcast on the CBS network, including live coverage of the 2008 Red Bull US Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca broadcast during an hour-long program on July 20. Additionally on CBS Sports, there will be hour-long same-day delayed broadcasts from the Alice Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland at the Sachsenring, Germany on July 13 and from the Cardion Ab Grand Prix Ceske republiky at Brno, Czech Republic on August 17.

NBC will offer live coverage of the inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis GP from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on September 14. Helping to make the deal possible between the two parties was Van Wagner Sports and Entertainment, who will coordinate production matters with both CBS Sports and NBC and will work as Dorna's US TV ad-sales agent.
