Racing UK relaunches enhanced international service

September 25, 2014

International residential subscribers to leading horseracing broadcaster, Racing UK, can now view via a multi-platform, live streaming and seven-day catch-up service, courtesy of Simplestream.

Racing UK shows horseracing from 34 racecourses in the UK, including the likes of Aintree, Ascot, Cheltenham, Epsom and Newmarket. The enhanced service enables viewers to subscribe to watch Racing UK live and on-demand, across computers, mobiles and tablets, via Simplestream’s proprietary Media Manager solution.

Simplestream’s CatchupTV technology allows for the automated creation of high-quality video assets from the live stream, offering Racing UK viewers the opportunity to re-watch any race.

Clive Cottrell, Director of Marketing, said: “Given the many time-zones around the world, the new Racing UK international service allows viewers the opportunity to watch the very best horse racing at a time and place convenient to them. The service offers high-quality streaming which adapts to Internet speed.”
