Classic coverage to be broadcast on AM1368

Road racing fans are being given the chance enjoy the best of the TT, despite the cancellation of this year's event.

Classic race commentaries, interviews with key riders, historical features and other historic coverage will be broadcast through race week on Manx Radio's AM1368 frequency.

Sponsored by Kawasaki K-Options, 'Manx Radio's TT Memories' will run from 5 June to 12 June in lieu of the festival proper.

You can find out more online via the Manx Radio website.

The station took part in a tender process to provide commentary for the 2020 TT, but before the outcome could be announced, the event was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Alex Brindley is Manx Radio's Controller of Programming and Content:

To help fill the void left by the cancellation of the 2020 Isle of Man TT races – the team at Manx Radio will broadcast 7 days of “Mountain Memories,” powered by Kawasaki K-Options.

For anyone that has ever visited the island during TT fortnight, Manx Radio is definitely the “sound of the TT,” and has been on air since 1964. The station was initially established purely to broadcast the Tourist Trophy races. A team of eighteen staff produce the commentary from around the Isle of Man, with the commentary points around the course changing over time as competitors and their machines have become faster.

With no live on-course action in 2020, Mountain Memories aims to help fans around the world get a TT fix with a week-long broadcast focusing on some historical racing moments from the island, plus fantastic interviews of riders and Team Managers that have taken on the famous 37 and 3/4 mile mountain course.

Listeners will be able to tune in wherever they are in the world via the web at manxradio.com from 8am on Friday 5 - June to 6pm Friday 12th - June 2020.

Highlights will include:

-        Chris Kinley in Conversation with a line-up of top riders
–        The 1975 Senior TT – Hailwood’s Comeback
–        McGuinness Breaking the 130 lap in centenary year
–        2010 Superstock – Part of Hutchy’s 5 in a week
–        1992 Senior TT – Hislop vs Fogarty
–        The whole TT 40 years on the Air series. A look back at Manx Radio’s coverage from 1964 onwards
–        The History Mann looking back to the 1907 TT and the 1911 TT
–        Rider’s Choice featuring Robert Dunlop, Steve Hislop and more
–        Roy Moore’s Mountain Memories
–        Much more
