Listen up! Racing TV launches new Irish-racing focussed podcast

Racing TV has launched a weekly new Irish-racing focussed podcast, On The Wire, in association with Bar One Racing.

On The Wire is presented by well-known sports journalist and broadcaster, Johnny Ward, and features a mix of preview, news and interviews. The pod will get under the skin of the sport to tell the stories of the horses and horsemen, as well as looking forward to the weekend's major races.

Will Hayler, Digital Optimisation Manager at Racing TV, said: "By working directly with our partner racecourses and using the existing on-screen talent and digital archive Racing TV is perfectly-placed to produce a high-quality regular podcast for those who already love racing in Ireland and for those who are new to the sport there.

"We are delighted to team up with our valued partner, Bar One Racing, to bring racefans On The Wire.”

Patrick Grimley, Head of Content at Bar One Racing added: “We're delighted to be entering an exciting period for Bar One Racing as partner of Racing TV and On The Wire.

"Johnny Ward is seen as a very topical and knowledgeable racing enthusiast in Ireland and we'll be eagerly looking forward to the show each week".

This week, the On The Wire team look ahead to Sunday's action at Cork and Punchestown.

It is available on racingtv.com, through its social media channels, and on podcast platforms including Audioboom, Apple, Google and Spotify.
