TAB Trackside

TAB Trackside is New Zealand horse racing and sports broadcast network, incorporating two pay TV channels and a nationwide radio station. The TV channels are available on SKY Digital channels and Vodafone New Zealand TV cable channels 062 and 063. The radio station broadcasts on 17 AM radio and 15 FM radio frequencies from Kaitaia to Invercargill, including two frequencies in Taupo.

Together, the outlets provide full coordinated coverage of all thoroughbred horse racing, harness horse racing and greyhound racing in New Zealand, most racing from Australia, and many races from Hong Kong, Singapore and other countries. The channels provides tickers and commentary with up-to-the-minute odds, field and dividend information. Between races, they feature on-track interviews, in-studio analysis, live footage of horses warming up for races, replays of previous races, and recaps of betting odds.

The live broadcasting of horse racing in the New Zealand dates back to the launch of a racing radio network in 1978. The station, originally known as Radio Pacific and later as bSport and LiveSport, is now TAB Trackside Radio. A racing television station launched in 1992, initially known as Action TV and later as Trackside, is now TAB Trackside 1. A second racing television station launched in 2007, known initially as TAB TV, is now TAB Trackside 2.
