Carrying on from another conversation posted recently, looks like BSB will be shown on both ITV and Sky.
The full British Superbikes package of six races will be shown on Sky Sports from all thirteen race meetings this season it has been announced.
The Satellite channel will show the British Superbikes, Supersport, 125cc, Superstock and Virgin Mobile Yamaha R6 Cup categories delayed to the evening of each round.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of a free to air TV deal in the UK with commercial channel, ITV1. The deal also includes the 2007 season.
"Everybody connected with the Bennetts British Superbike Championship is very pleased to continue an association with Sky Sports," Dorna UK managing director Tony Partis says on the championship's official website.
"They have been good to work with, built a loyal following for the sport, and will now show a greater depth of coverage than before. Their professionalism and enthusiasm will not only benefit the Bennetts British Superbike Championship but also the compelling support races."
Series director Stuart Higgs is happy that the support categories as well as the main event are covered in the deal. "Their depth of coverage, in particular of the supporting categories, is very important and of course very popular with our fan base and teams alike," he says.
Bikes: R1200RT F800GS. Hopefully another Ducati soon

Thats cheered me up no end, as I thought that ITV would only show highlights and none of the build up. Bring it on Keith Huegehen or whatever your name is, whos going to sit next to him now that Nial McKenzie is devoting his time to Crescent/Rizla Suzuki - Bring back Murray
