RMG is the holding company responsible for a range of media rights management businesses involving the following 35 racecourses shareholders: Aintree, Ayr, Beverley, Carlisle, Cartmel, Catterick Bridge, Chelmsford City Racecourse, Cheltenham, Epsom Downs, Exeter, Fakenham, Goodwood, Hamilton Park, Haydock Park, Huntingdon, Kelso, Kempton Park, Leicester, Ludlow, Market Rasen, Musselburgh, Newmarket, Nottingham, Perth, Pontefract, Redcar, Salisbury, Sandown Park, Stratford-on-Avon, Taunton, Thirsk, Warwick, Wetherby, Wincanton and York.
Racecourse Media Group is the umbrella organisation for those 35 racecourses which hold an interest in Racing TV (Sky 424, Virgin 536 and 411, Freeview and Youview 261), Racing TV International (international betting shop/digital service) and Racecourse Data Company (licensor of Pre-Race Data). In addition, content from 36 racecourses, via Racecourse Retail Business, is distributed by Sports Information Services (SIS) to Licensed Betting Offices (LBOs) in the UK and Ireland.
This is a revolutionary approach to sports media rights management and allows the racecourses to own, manage and exploit their intellectual property across all platforms. All profits are returned to the courses.
