Radio TT will also make its return in 2022 with full live coverage of every qualifying session and race. The new-look radio team will also have near-complete and continuous oversight of the whole course, thanks to the introduction of the live stream coverage. Informing and entertaining fans since 1964, Radio TT has a new anchor in Steve Day, whose voice will already be known to fans of MotoGP and World Superbike working as lead commentator in both series’.
