Television Coverage Returns
for ATVA National Motocross Championships
Morgantown, WV (3/3/2007)
– The ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG), in cooperation
with AMA Racing and the ATVA, announce that the ATVA
ITP/Moose ATV National Motocross Championships Presented
by Parts Unlimited will enjoy a full season on television
coverage on the Versus Network (formerly Outdoor Life
Network) starting April 18th. Shows will air every
Wednesday at 3 p.m.
“We’re excited about the
new TV package for 2007,” said Sam Gammon of
the ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG). “People are
amazed at what the stars of ATVA motocross can do
on America’s premier motocross tracks, and we’re
going to bring that excitement to TV sets across the
country all year long.”
Shows are produced jointly between the
ATVPG and Gear Media and Marketing Inc, the same group
that brought the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series (GNCC) back to television in 2005. GMMI’s
experience with the GNCC TV package led them to create
the Racer TV program, which airs both the GNCC events
and the ATVA MX programs each week on Versus.
