STCC announces changed live TV deal with SVT

The Scandinavian Touring Car Championship will continue to be broadcast live online on the state-owned channel SVT, and will make a comeback on the TV channels SVT1 and SVT2 with live broadcast for 2016.

”That we are going to be broadcasted live on the traditional channels of STCC is of course very important for our possibilities to grow as a championship, both in terms of commercial and sporting conditions,” said Jonas Lundin, MD for STCC AB.

The past couple of years has seen the championship being broadcast live only online, with a summary programme on SVT1 a couple of days later.

Five of the seven races will be broadcast live on SVT1 or SVT2 this year while the race at Falkenberg and the twilight race at Mantorp Park will be broadcasted live online only.

The 2016 STCC season starts on May 1st with the airport race in Skövde, Sweden.
