MAVTV is getting a new owner and a renewed emphasis on racing content.
Media outlet RACER has purchased MAVTV and is renaming it RACER Network. The network boasts a TV schedule it says will top 300 live events in 2025.
Included in its programming are DTM, British Touring Cars, Pikes Peak, European Le Mans Series, FIM Speedway, FIM World Superbikes, AMA Arenacross, Australian Supercars, Race of Champions, Crandon Off-Road World Championships, Prodigy Racing League (virtual to real world racing).
Much like Speedvision and later Speed TV catered to grassroots racing and car culture from 1995 until 2005, RACER Network will continue to offer live racing as well as coverage of car culture events such as the GAA Classic Car Auction in North Carolina, Vicari Live Car Auction in Mississippi, and the Rolex Monterey (Calif.) Motorsports Reunion.
Expect the complete rollout to occur over the next few months, with branding and logos to start appearing with today’s announcement.
