LISTEN

Big news for Radiophiles. 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’. Joining Steve in the control tower as chief-analyst is Chris Boyde, who has been commentating on Manx motorsport for years and has an unrivalled knowledge of the TT.

Reporting from pit lane will be Isle of Man radio personalities, Chris Kinley and Beth Espey. Chris will need no introduction to TT fans, having covered the event since 2003, while Beth is likely to be a new voice to race fans. An expert interviewer, she brings an engaging presence to local radio.

You’ll be able to tune into Radio TT via Manx Radio’s FM and AM frequencies, or click on to iomttraces.com to listen from anywhere in the world. A live timing service will also be available at iomttraces.com – with no subscription – and is the perfect partner to your TT audio experience.
