PROGRAMMING NOTE: The MotoGP season opener from Qatar will air LIVE on SPEED on April 11th at 4:00pm EST.

SPEED and Dorna Sports have reached a three-year broadcast agreement that, for the first time, will include live, high-definition race coverage of the MotoGP World Championship, as well as enhanced production features, it was announced this week by the network.

“In addition to the international feed shared by all partners, SPEED will produce SPEED-specific features, interviews and graphic enhancements,” said Rick Miner , SPEED SVP of Production & Network Operations. “We are really stepping up the presentation for the American audience.”

Greg Creamer will be the SPEED in-studio host, with Nick Harris handling play-by-play for the international feed. Ian Wheeler will provide analysis and Gavin Emmett will report from the pits.

Coverage begins this weekend with the season-opening Grand Prix of Qatar on the 3.343-mile Losail International Circuit. The two U.S. rounds are scheduled for July 25 at Laguna Seca and August 29 at famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

SPEEDtv.com will offer full coverage of each event with photos and content from Moto Racing Editor Chris Martin and columnists Dennis Noyes, Evan Williams and Colin Young. In addition, SPEED has expanded video rights beginning this season, with 10 minutes of footage from each event available on SPEEDtv.com.
