Manx Radio in talks over TT contract

Meeting with Department for Enterprise

A meeting has taken place today between Manx Radio and the Department for Enterprise about past contractual arrangements regarding the TT and Festival of Motorcycling.

The current contract finished at the end of last week.

In response to a news release from the Department for Enterprise issued yesterday, Managing Director Anthony Pugh states both parties put their positions forward in a forthright manner and have agreed to review the situation.

He adds Manx Radio has offered a number of proposals to the Department over the years to cover various levels of broadcast involvement in these motorcycling events.

And Mr Pugh finishes by adding Manx Radio has never received the large sums recently mooted.
