TVG, America’s horse racing network and leading ADW platform, is now available as part of YouTube TV’s new sports add-on package, Sports Plus, which launched earlier this month, the network announced on Wednesday.
Subscribers to YouTube TV, a subscription streaming service that lets you watch live and on-demand TV from 85+ networks, can purchase the Sports Plus add-on package for $10.99 per month. In addition to TVG and TVG2, it includes NFL RedZone, Fox College Sports, GolTV, Fox Soccer Plus, MAVTV Motorsports Network, and Stadium.
“We are excited that our national network is now part of YouTube TV’s Sports Plus package and are looking forward to bringing horse racing into even more homes throughout the country,” said Kevin Grigsby, Executive Producer and Senior Vice President of TVG. “ Our investment in television and technology continues to bear fruit for the US racing industry and our track and horsemen partners as TVG’s audience and wagering handle have grown substantially over the last six months.”
Earlier this summer, TVG’s national network upgraded to HD on Charter’s Spectrum cable systems and DirecTV. Additional distribution was added when TVG moved to DirecTV’s basic package, expanding the network’s overall reach to approximately 50 million US households.
In addition to YouTube TV, TVG is also distributed on streaming services FuboTV (TVG & TVG2) and AT&T Now (TVG) and has the very popular Watch TVG App, available on Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Apple TV connected devices.
Sports fans can tune in to TVG this Fall for major horse racing action from coast to coast featuring the prestigious Fall Meets from both Santa Anita and Keeneland as well as racing from other major tracks from around the world. Keeneland will host the Breeders’ Cup World Championships on November 6 and 7, including the TVG Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile.
